Not enough information to say. We don't know your OUtlook version or whether users have Exchange mailboxes or POP3 accounts.

Outlook Script: How to get the FirstName of the current User
In that case, what you want to do cannot be done with the Outlook object model. You'd need to use a low-level API such as CDO 1.21 or, to avoid security prompts, Redemption, to get the AddressEntry object representing the current user and access the PR_GIVEN_NAME (&H3A06001E) MAPI property through the Fields collection. The page at http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm is a good primer on working with MAPI properties.
