FYI - assume the name of grp lastDoublet is "DB_Doublet_160"
Group newGrp is supposed to be "DB_Doublet_170" and this appears to
be confirmed by the two "answer" commands I've inserted in the script
to verify.
But after the script runs, it turns out that the new group is also
named "DB_Doublet_160" instead of "DB_Doublet_170" (which does not
seem to exist, even though the second "answer" test shows that it did
), and the new group is positioned right on top of the old group, and
not offset to to newTop as desired (2 pixels below the bottom of the
old group.
It should work. Are you seeing the label of the new group instead of its
actual name? (Not the field label object, but label property of the
group itself.)
