URL hacking to create Person Accounts

Hi,

 

I've been using URL hacking to create custom buttons that pre-populate standard create pages for various different custom and standard objects with no issues. 

 

Now I'm trying to create a button (on the case page) that will take various fields and use them to prepopulate the create page for a Person Account. From what I can see it only seems to work for fields that are native to the Account object. Any of the fields that come from the Contact object don't seem to be populated from the parameters in the URL. I have set the record type in the URL and it picks it up no problem and creates a new Person Account.

 

I can kind of understand what's giong on as I know person accounts are a special case, but I was hoping I would be able to get a work-around. Any thoughts or suggestions....?

 

Thanks
