VBA Code to open form on top of 64bit SW

[DesignerGuy16]

Use this code with existing or new macro's to force a form to open on top and centered on your SolidWorks instance. Just rename UserForm to your existing Form name. You will have to make an instance/sub-routine for every UserForm that may be opened. Otherwise it may have issues pulling/saving information. It's pretty convoluted, but allows normal use for SolidWorks VBA macros in a 64bit operating system and program. There really isn't a better way to show VBA forms in 64bit SolidWorks without recoding everything to C++ and making your macro's an add-in.

You're welcome to all the people who want to keep using their existing VBA macro's in 64bit SolidWorks without having to alt-tab to the form everytime you use your macro. =)

This solution still requires some far amount of recoding of the original macros to be fixed, but at least this is a step to fix the issue.
