Works perfectly now!
It's surprising how a slight change in how a routine operates can make such a difference!
Thanks very much for your knowledge and efforts.
Much appreciated.
Using Expresstools, the Layer Isolate - "Layiso" is what works for me.Layiso is different than Alan's routine which lets the user select objects based on a layer filter rather than turn off all layers other than the ones selected.

Purpose
Changes the button top for the specified toolbar button
Arguments
The name of the menu group, the name of the toolbar, the name of the toolbar button and the bitmap to use
Example
(ax:ChangeBitmap "acad" "dimension" "linear dimension" "arch.bmp")
Notes
If the bitmap is not in the AutoCAD search path, you must specify the full path to file
(ARCH:ChangeBitmap "acad" "dimension" "linear dimension" "arch.bmp")
(ARCH:ChangeBitmap "ARCH" "Arch Program©" "SYMS" (strcat ARCH#IMAF "ARCH_SYMSX.bmp"))
