How is this person selected? If they are selecting a Contact in Outlook, you
can use the Explorer.Selection object to return a Contact object (or more)
for the selection.
If all you have is a name from a custom list or something, you can try
retrieving the Contact object by using MAPIFolder.Items("John Doe"). You can
also use the Items.Restrict method to search items in that folder using any
property you want.
