# Append Method (ADOX Groups)
Adds a new [Group](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/group-object-adox.md) object to the [Groups](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/groups-collection-adox.md) collection.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
Groups.Append Group  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *Group*  
 The **Group** object to append or the name of the group to create and append.  
  
## Remarks  
 The **Groups** collection of a [Catalog](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/catalog-object-adox.md) represents all of the catalog's group accounts. The **Groups** collection for a [User](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/user-object-adox.md) represents only the group to which the user belongs.  
  
 An error will occur if the provider does not support creating groups.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  Before appending a **Group** object to the **Groups** collection of a **User** object, a **Group** object with the same [Name](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/name-property-adox.md) as the one to be appended must already exist in the **Groups** collection of the **Catalog**.  
  
## Applies To  
 [Groups Collection (ADOX)](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/groups-collection-adox.md)
