OK, I got it now...

You need to change this line in your version of the code:

Private Declare PtrSafe Function lstrcpy Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString1 As String, ByVal lpString2 As String) As LongPtr

To this:

Private Declare PtrSafe Function lstrcpy Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString1 As Any, ByVal lpString2 As Any) As LongPtr

If you step through the code as you had it, you will see that the value of lpGlobalMemory changes when lstrcopy is called. When the types are changed to Any, the value stays the same.

Works for me on windows 7. Hope it works for you!
