When we are dealing with a grammatical object, (direct, indirect or prepositional), then the form is 'whom' - if you are being formal. However, most speakers of BrE have never used 'whom' in their lives. You are safe if you use 'who' all the time, except after a preposiion at the beginning of a sentence.
