Get Current Layer

[sgrya1]

How do I get the currently active layer in a drawing so that I can save it and revert to it later?
I've tried
PrevLayer = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer
Which creates a message box error.

LayerName = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer.name

Set LayerReference = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer

If I set
PrevLayer = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer.Name
then have
ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = PrevLayer
I also get an error

If I add
Set LayerReference = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer
LayerReference requires a variable setting. What do I use? eg LayerReference as string?

set the index of the layer by the reference name

ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = ThisDrawing.Layers(PrevLayer)
