Thank you Christopher. Will definitely take a look on it.
But this sounds strange, when such a simple need should be brought with some complicated solutions.
Since I have the data in the same SharePoint site, well yes in two different library lists: one main document library another one is my contact library. Sound strange that I cannot go and create simple column that will look up for the existing name contact inside the Contact library.
Oh, you can with lookup columns, the way you asked your question you were trying to pull contacts from Outlook from the person submitting the form "The whole trying to sync from outlook contacts peice".
If the contacts already exist in a SharePoint list, you create a column with the "Lookup Column" and it should allow you to pull from that. If lookup columns don't work for Contact list type you may just have to create a custom list, import your contacts then use lookup column to that custom list.
