I am not sure how you have done this part, but when that dialog window
closes, you should have an object pointer to the contact item in
question. Using that object pointer, you can extract the value of any
Outlook property of the contact item.

If the Window dialog only returns a contact name, then you have to
search the contact folder, in code, to find the contact with the
selected name. This will give you an object pointer to the contact
item, which you will use to extract the value of which-ever Outlook
property you want to copy.

Take a look at http://www.outlook-code.com/d/outtech.htm for more
information about how to do all this.
