Default Need help extracting date and time with Excel 2K

I have 2 sheets setup. Sheet 1 has name listed in column A and Sheet 2 has
data as listed in the example below. I need help with extracting the latest
date and time from sheet2 based on the name listed on sheet1. The problem
that I have is that Sheet2 Column D has more text than just the name. In this
example I like to retrive the latest date and time for rdupree and place it
into Sheet1 Column C in the same row as rdupree is. I currently am using the
following formula but it only works if Sheet2 Column D has only just the
name. It does not work if the extra text is in the cell. One more thing. I am
not allowed to remove the extra text from Column D in Sheet2.

Example1 - names listed in Sheet1 Column A
rdupree
jose
debby
pcaruso

Example2 - type of data on Sheet 2
Column A ColumnC ColumnD
1/8/2006 - 2:29 PM rdupree Authorized Testwireless or Upgrade
