blocks on their own layer

    I am writing a program to take care of some things from drawings that we are
    getting from another company. These files are comming in with very little
    layer control. I would like to grab all of the blocks of a certain name and
    put them on their own layer. An example would be; take all of the SSCT
    blocks and put them on layer Survey_Section, and then grab all of the SMON
    blocks and put them on layer Survey_Misc. etc. I have the rest of my program
    written to take care of some other things, but I can not figure out how to
    deal with the blocks.

    Thanks in advance,

    Pat

    (setq bname (getstring "Block name?: "))
    (ssget "x" (list (0 . "INSERT")(cons 2 bname)))

    Mark,

    Your code works in VBA great. However, I can not get to work in visual basic.net? Any ideas?
