		base:SetDraggable( false )
		base:ShowCloseButton( true )
		base:MakePopup()
		function base:Paint( w, h )
			draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, YEL )
			surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0 )
			surface.DrawOutlinedRect( 1, 1, w, h )
		end
		
	local KillButt = vgui.Create( 'DButton', base )

		function KillButt:DoClick()
		chat.AddText( Color( 255, 150, 0 ), "[TLDR] ", Color( 255, 255, 255 ), "What? You thought it was going to be that easy " ..LocalPlayer():Nick().. "?" )
		end

		function KillButt:Paint( w, h )
		draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, WHT )
		end
	local GroupButt = vgui.Create( 'DButton', base )
		GroupButt:SetParent( base )
		GroupButt:SetPos( 130, 25 )
		GroupButt:SetSize( 100, 50 )
		GroupButt:SetText( 'Group' )
// HERE is where it closes the menu
		function GroupButt:DoClick()
		base:Close()
		end

		function GroupButt:Paint( w, h )
		draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, WHT )
		end
end )
// HERE is my second Menu, Group Menu
net.Receive( 'GroupMenu', function()
	local base = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
		base:SetSize( 600,300 )
		base:Center()
		base:SetTitle( 'Group Controls' )
		base:SetDraggable( false )
		base:ShowCloseButton( true )
		base:MakePopup()
		function base:Paint( w, h )
			draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, YEL )
			surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0 )

Make a local function to open the Group Menu.

[lua]
// Derma Menu For Clients

net.Receive( 'Menu', function()
local base = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
base:SetSize( 600,300 )
base:Center()
base:SetTitle( 'Player Basic Commands' )
base:SetDraggable( false )
base:ShowCloseButton( true )
base:MakePopup()
function base:Paint( w, h )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, YEL )
surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0 )
surface.DrawOutlinedRect( 1, 1, w, h )
end

local KillButt = vgui.Create( 'DButton', base )
KillButt:SetParent( base )
KillButt:SetPos( 25, 25 )
KillButt:SetSize( 100, 50 )
KillButt:SetText( 'Kill' )
function KillButt:DoClick()
chat.AddText( Color( 255, 150, 0 ), "[TLDR] ", Color( 255, 255, 255 ), "What? You thought it was going to be that easy " ..LocalPlayer():Nick().. "?" )
end

function KillButt:Paint( w, h )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, WHT )
end
local GroupButt = vgui.Create( 'DButton', base )
GroupButt:SetParent( base )
GroupButt:SetPos( 130, 25 )
GroupButt:SetSize( 100, 50 )
GroupButt:SetText( 'Group' )
// HERE is where it closes the menu
function GroupButt:DoClick()
base:Close()

// call local function OpenGroupMenu
OpenGroupMenu()
end

function GroupButt:Paint( w, h )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, WHT )
end
end )

// HERE is my second Menu, Group Menu

local function OpenGroupMenu()
local base = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
base:SetSize( 600,300 )
base:Center()
base:SetTitle( 'Group Controls' )
base:SetDraggable( false )
base:ShowCloseButton( true )
base:MakePopup()
function base:Paint( w, h )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, YEL )
surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0 )
surface.DrawOutlinedRect( 1, 1, w, h )
end
end

net.Receive( 'GroupMenu', function()
OpenGroupMenu()
end )

function KillButt:DoClick()

is incorrect, should be this -

KillButt.DoClick = function()
     -- what happens when you click the button
end

this is the same for all vgui buttons

Both things are exactly the same, except first if providing self variable.
