Default Retrieve Name from the Contacts in the Appointment form

Hi All,

I'm trying to populate the Body in the Appointment Form based on the
value (not the contact) entered in the Contacts box.
Basically, the user enters Number in the Contacts Box and clicks a
button in the Standard Bar and the Body gets populated from the data in
the database.
The problem is I cannot retrieve the Name from the Links collection as
the Appointment has not been saved yet. I can retrieve values entered
in the Subject field, Location field so there must be a way to retrive
the value in the Contacts box.
I just don't know how???

Thanx

The Links collection works a little bit differently from simple text fields. I don't know of a workaround to avoid having to save the item.
