It depends on what you have selected before using the group command.
Perhaps what you have selected cannot be made into a group

try 'Tools:Application Browser'
and locate all of the groups and note their layer position & id

Also try
    put the number of groups in this card into cdGroupCount
-- or --  put the number of groups into cdGroupCount
    put the number of groups in this stack into stkGroupCount


You should check the numbering of the groups.
Remember, the key words 'first' 'last' refer to the layering sequence,  
such as

field 1, first field
button 4, card 18
when using last card, first card ..  the id of the cards can change if  
the cards are sorted into a different order.


Groups are not really intuitive, so you should give a little more  
detail about your steps that fail so we can give a better answer.

Hope this helps.
