How to get path of clipped xref in viewport

[Anonymous]

MEP 2008
I have a View drawing with 2 constructs xref'd into it.
This View drawing is then xref'd into the sheet and then the viewport is then resized to show only a portion of the view drawing.

In the Sheet
When my program runs the viewport has already been selected.
Using anything BUT VB how can I get the path of an xref in an Active viewport?

Currently I am getting the corners of the active viewport and using ssget "c" but it only works on some viewports.I have 2 that the clips are of smaller areas, though they still display objects, ssget "c" will not find anything in the viewport.

I can find all the xref's in the sheet, is there a way to find out what viewports they are in (working the problem backwards)?
Is there a better link between the viewport and the xref it contains that I can get?
