i think need userform.  see following pages of greg maxey's website :

http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/create_and_employ_a_userform.htm

http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/populate_userform_listbox.htm
 see article "how username of current user” at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/getcurusername.htm

to populate listbox or combobox on userform data outlook use:

here's example fills listbox on userform. you'll need a
reference in visual basic editor outlook library in order run
this:
----------------------------------- dim integer
dim ooutlookapp outlook.application
dim ooutlooknamespace outlook.namespace
dim ocontacts outlook.mapifolder
dim ocontact outlook.contactitem
 on error resume next
 set ooutlookapp = getobject(, "outlook.application")
 if err <> 0 then
   set ooutlookapp = createobject("outlook.application")
 end if
 set ooutlooknamespace = ooutlookapp.getnamespace("mapi")
 'get contactfolder
 set ocontacts = ooutlooknamespace.getdefaultfolder(olfoldercontacts)
 for each ocontact in ocontacts.items
   me.listbox1.additem ocontact.lastnameandfirstname
   = + 1
 next
 set ocontact = nothing
 set ocontacts = nothing
 set ooutlooknamespace = nothing
 set ooutlookapp = nothing
-----------------------------------  -- hope helps.
