Simple as this:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="'.get_field('form').'"]' ); ?>

You have to notice, you should use get_field() to return the value. the_field() will echo it.

Another way:

Copy your shortcode in your WordPress text field:

[contact-form-7 id="29"]

And:

<?php echo do_shortcode(get_field('form')); ?>

Very small difference, a little bit easier.
