Add New Group

I have read all the posts that look pertinent to my question, but no one has
answered it before, so here goes:

I'm using Outlook 2007 with Vista Ultimate. In Outlook I select 'contacts'.
I get a listing of my contacts, and on the left side I get a navigation pane
with 'My Contacts'. I can go down the pane and click on 'Add New Group'. I
can then enter my new group name, and it saves it.

Now the problem: I can't do anything with the new group. I can't add
contacts to it, I can't add or do anything with it, except stare at it in awe
and wonderment.

How do I set up a new group that has only my business contacts in it? NO, I
don't want a distribution list, or a "category". I want a complete new group
with it's own contacts, just like the "My Contacts" group is.

Help anyone?

A Group is not a contact list.
Do New- DISTRIBUTION list.

In fact you may find it better to use Categories instead.
 
You are confused. A Navigation pane Group is simply a group of Folders. You
would have no use for that. Few people do. What you want to do is create a
new Folder for Contacts.
File > New > Folder
