Michael,
Replace the WhoId field with a UI only reference field. Here is a sample page:

Hi Bill, I don’t actually need to use Who ID and am just using the contact field itself. .Contact__c], would I use the same method?
Michael,
This should work ‘as-is’…just updated your Contact__c field instead of WhoId.
You should also be able to adapt this directly to your Contact__c field. Use the ContactsForAccounts model to limit the result set for your Contact__c field.
Thanks,
Bill
Hey Bill, Got it working! Thanks a bunch.
