Using WAB /a is just a method of viewing all contacts without regard to the
identity they belong to. For what you have in mind, I think it would be
simpler to create a new wab file (Start/Run and type: WAB /new) and give it
a name and location to be saved to. Then open the existing book (Wab /a)
and use Copy/Paste to transfer the contacts (as desired) into the newly
created WAB file. Then copy that book and use it.

On all computers have in Wab4: FirstRun (1), OlkContactRefresh (0),
OlkFolderRefresh (0) and one computer also has PropTag1 (975437855).

Noticed on home computer, which I am trying to bring it's address book to
office, my wife has her own name for OE6 usage. When I ran wab /a it
showed her contacts too. If this is embedded in address book, can I just
delete her contacts, copy my address book and reinstall a copy of her
address book to bring her contacts back?

Sounds like you will have to do some editing to eliminate the duplicates.
No easy way that I'm aware of.

Jim,

Folders and Groups will neither export nor import.

Actually, I was able to get an import of all Folders and Groups! I used
Other instead of WAB. Only problem is that it was on top (in addition
to) of what already was there. So I now have around 250 hundred of
extras and out dated ones.
