| Don't know if you are OK with scripting a solution, but you might give this technique a go.
I wrote a special ASP forms page that allows an authenticated user to populate the assistant field. I use an LDAP query against the DC to match the user's "SAMAccountName" to the user name input in the firm, then use the distinguishedname field to query the the ADsDSOObject provider for the existing value of the msExchAssistantName property.
From there you just allow another input box for the new value and issue a Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objRecordSet.fields("distinguishedname"))
Hope that helps.
