X-REF conundrum

How can I quickly find the layer of an X-REFed drawing so I can turn it off - without opening the original XREF to see what layer it is on?
Bear in mind I am using ACAD 2005 LT.
Thanks in advance

I dont work in AutoCAD LT However in AutoCAD 2006 if you select the object that is x-refed can you not see it in the layer toolbar window? Does AutoCAD LT have express tools thatha shows a snoflake symbol that when selected you can freeze a layer by just selecting (picking) an object on that layer?

Opening the xref'd file will tell you nothing about on which layer it is inserted in the host file.

Does acad lt have a list command? If so it should tell you what layer the xref is on.

there is a express toolbar called "block tools" that will allow you to list individual entities in a block or x-ref.
anthother thing you could do is freeze it in a layout window and then check to see what layer is frozen.
