Is this custom tool palette located on a server or on another workstation?

Use a LISP/Macro to your palette and have it just insert the drawing that includes all layers/styles and have the command cancel after the definition is inserted, but before an actual object is.

eg.
(command "_.-insert" "MyLayerFile.DWG" nil)

This will import all layers/styles (the block definition, etc.) but it will be cancelled before the option to insert an actual object in the drawing. I used to use this method for some LT users.
