    Look in the help file. Every object has a layer property which holds the name of its host layer In your case, grab the AcadBlockReference and access its layer.

    Dim oBlkRef As AcadBlockReference
    Dim basePnt As Variant
    ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity oBlkRef, basePnt, "Select an object"
    Msgbox oBlkRef.Layer

    Now, there is no error handling and this *assumes* you select a blockreference otherwise it willl fail - but it should get you started.
