i think i ran into this same problem actually.
it was a while ago, but i remember it had something to do with the polygon and the form using a different scale.

i had to use twipsperpixelX and twipsperpixely function.

here, i found it. the codes kinda screwy and i dont know if it's the best way to di it. but you can see where i used twipsperpixel.

TPPX = Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
TPPY = Screen.TwipsPerPixelY

ReDim TEMP(PNT.lbound To PNT.ubound) As
POINTAPI
For Tx = PNT.lbound To PNT.ubound
TEMP(Tx).x = PNT(Tx).Left / TPPX
TEMP(Tx).y = PNT(Tx).Top / TPPY
Next Tx
