Cannot create Group

[invested2k8]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

When I click on the Address Book icon and click on "New", the "Group" option is grayed out and I cannot create a group.

However, if I click on a Contact in the Address Book and click "New", the "Group" option is hightlighted and I am able to create a Group that way.

HOWEVER, when I create a Group through the Contact, the Group is saved only to the Address Book on the computer, and not in the exchange account.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This occurs because groups do not synchronize with the Exchange Server. If
you have an Exchange Server set as your default account, then Entourage will
not create groups there, so the option is unavailable unless you choose to
create it from the local address book. This is a limitation of the Entourage
application. However, you can create groups and save & use them within
Entourage; they simply will not be copied to the Exchange
Server.

This is a common request. If you want to see this feature in a future
version of Entourage, be sure to send feedback to Microsoft.
