Hi and welcome to AutoDesk Forum,

you can follow blocks and many things else by using ADCENTER command (Ctrl+2) see attached .

Hi,

>> they have used a block for on of the drawings and i need to know the file in which it came from

A content of a drawing does not have something like a signature about "where it comes from".

So you might search your network folder for a file that contains a block with the same name or you can search for a file that has the same name as your block, but that does not say anything about "this is exactly that block".

A simple example, you might have got drawings from different vendors (persons or companies) and each contains a block "table" ... and they are different.

So just be careful, to find something with the same name does not mean that this is the real source of your block-definition.
