The Links collection is the correct field. Each individual Link has an Item property that returns a linked contact, if one exists.

What Outlook version are you working with?

What field is used to create the link between an Outlook contact and a task
or journal? I need to extract all of the tasks and journals but the name in
the links collection doesn't always match if the name of the contact has
changed. I know there has to be some way that Outlook uses to link them
other than the name because they show up under the contact when I look under
tasks or journals on the Activities tab.

TIA
