Default Creating a New Business Contact from Old

In Business Cards view, when I press Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V to copy and paste
an existing contact in order to create new from old, I get the following
error message (this happens when I try to paste):

The folders you are trying to change do not support this operation. Could
not complete the operation because the service provider does not support it.

I don't understand what this means and - more importantly - I don't know how
to fix it. I have Outlook 2007 and am using the Business Contact Manager.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thx!

Could ActionsNew Contact from Same Company do what you want?

I'm sure it could, but I don't have that option in Business Contact Manager.
I only have that option in my "regular" Contacts.

Thx!

microsoft.public.outlook.bcm may be a better place to ask, then.
