Outlook 2010/2013. From a form, how do I have a user open the contact list
and then grab attributes from the selected contact?

In order to automate a faxing system I have designed a form to allow users
to plug in information to create a particularly formatted address alias.
I'm having a problem figuring out how to grab details from items that are
already in their contacts. I have a 'retrieve from contacts' button.
I've searched but I can't figure out how to get it to display the standard
To: style contact list, then have them select the contact they want, and
have the function extract various details from the selected contact and
insert it into the form.
Or really, how do I have the user select a contact and get the information
into a Outlook.ContactItem object so that I can get attributes from it?
