Cannot copy Address Folders from OE to WM

[mike]

I have over 50 contact GROUP folders in OE Addresses in XP and have
tried various ways to move them to WM

They just are not there - only the 3000 other normal contacts
"without" the Groups

Any advice appreciated

Mike

In XP, copy each group to a new wab:
To export a group go to Start | Run and type
wab /new
and save it, giving it the name of the group, keeping the WAB extension.
Now open your group, select one contact and press Ctrl-A to Select All then
Ctrl-C to Copy All.
Go to the new address book, click in the contact area and press Ctrl-V to
Paste All.

Seems a good idea....

Following done on XP computer :

I created a new wab - opened my original wab which has the Groups -
opened a group - clicked on one name - pressed Cntrl A - nothing
happened - managed to highlight all the contacts in the group -
pressed Cntrl C

Went to new wab - tried to press Cntrl V - nothing happened......

My original wab with the Group in is tied to Outlook by the way....

Something went wrong on the way

Hope to hear the remedy soon

Cheers
