Mac,
You got me thinking about updating some previous work I did, so I hopeyou find the following blog entry useful:

Oh, c'mon Paul...it cannot be that hard.. Let me recap in plain English: the
precondition is that you have selected (a mouseclick) your group, now for the
code: get what's selected on the page; if it's a group, see what its members
are and what the home layer of each is; light up each of these layers;
taddaa... My only problem is that I can't code in VBA too smoothly (:-) ) and
I'd like someone to guide me...:-)

well, as you said in your original message, have a sink layer, a
plumbing layer, a power layer etc. 25 layers!!!!! Having layers
switched on and off automatically just by clicking on something sounds
like a nightmare.
