Viewport zoom window

Hi, I'm trying to create viewports in layouts from modelspace. I can't seem to get the zoom window working. This is my code for changing the default viewport to the page size, activating mspace and then I want to zoom on a rectangle, but this is not working, it just takes center of modelspace everytime. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Sub CreateViewPort(newdwg As AcadDocument, a As Integer)

    ' Set the active space to paper space
    newdwg.ActiveSpace = acPaperSpace
    
    ' get / add a layout
    Dim layout As AcadLayout
    Set layout = newdwg.Layouts.Item(a)  ' .Add("Sheet " & 1)
    
    ' activate the first layout
    newdwg.ActiveLayout = layout
    
    ' get the standard created viewport
    Dim vp As AcadPViewport
    Set vp = layout.Block.Item(1)
        
    ' get the paper height and width
    Dim pHeight As Double, pWidth As Double
    Call layout.GetPaperSize(pWidth, pHeight)
    
    ' set viewport height width and scale
    vp.Height = pWidth
    vp.Width = pHeight
    vp.StandardScale = acVp1_20
    
    ' activate the viewport, unlock the display and activate the modelspace
    vp.Display True
    newdwg.MSpace = True
    vp.DisplayLocked = False
    
    ' Set newVport current
    newdwg.ActivePViewport = vp

    ' find the coordinates where we want to zoom at
    Dim p1(2) As Double
    p1(0) = (8410 * a): p1(1) = 0: p1(2) = 0
    Dim p2(2) As Double
    p2(0) = (8410 * (a + 1)): p2(1) = 5840: p2(2) = 0
    ZoomWindow p1, p2
 

    
    ' Turn model space editing off
    newdwg.MSpace = False

    ' ZoomExtents in paperspace
    ZoomExtents
    
    ' lock the vp
    vp.DisplayLocked = True
    
    ' fix the ****
    newdwg.Regen acAllViewports
    
End Sub

Found it. Had to use vp.target. somehow the target is not the center of what i want to see though.
