Dan, this is a very annoying bug in version 6.  DX4WIN is being too 
aggressive in matching up to an existing group name.

The way I get around it is to create the new group name with a unique 
BEGINNING, like:

         XYZZY2004

Then after the group name has been created, go back to that entry and 
carefully edit the name using the DELETE key, then save the changes.
