Keep modeless userform on top Office 2010

excel vba 2010

I need to keep a modeless userform on top while i process some functions in vba after pressing a command button.

http://www.jkp-ads.com/Articles/keepuserformontop02.asp


This link tells you what to do in excel 2013  version 15 vba.

Can this be revamped to work in excel 2010   v14 ?

Thanks
