Okay, So I've seemed to have figure the answer out at least partially, but I do have some more issues. The solution to the question is as follows. All I need to do to get the scratch cell to spit out the layer value is enter.
<pre><code id="code-20-41930837-1">=Pages[Page-1]!ThePage!Layers.Visible[1]</code></pre>
 The next question would be weather or not there is a way to reference the layer by name. I can see now that as I work on a document and add more pages and parts to the schematics that I will not be able to rely on a consistent layer numerical order so I'll need to be able to reference the layer by name.

How can I set cell value Layer 1 'pins'.Visibility (or print) on [Page-1] to cell value Scratch 1 X on [Page-2]? I've tried formulas like (CODE). but could never find a proper way to reference either the 'Print' or 'Visibility' value. A brief web search does not seem to provide the answer I'm looking for.
