Default determining coordinates for screen placement of user form

I set the StartupPosition of a UserForm to manual and wish to place it,
for example, in the lower right corner of the screen.

I use the API GetSystemMetrics function to return a screen width and
height, but then have to scale those measures down before subtracting
the width and height of the UserForm itself (to 60% for my 1400 x 1050
screen and 75% for my 1024 x 768 screen).

In other words, the screen width for UserForm placement purposes is
only 840 x 630 for a 1400 x 1050 screen and only 768 x 576 for a 1024 x
768 screen.

Question: Is there a way to determine this "scaling" factor
dynamically, so that the application always places the form where I
want it, regardless of the user's screen resolution?

I am sure this has been addressed many times, but my searches came up
empty. Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance. :)
