What were my 'suggestions above'...?

It looks like you're attempting to copy a pointer which in x64 will be an 
8-bit LongLong, or a 4-bit Long in x32

Try declaring this conditional constant, either as public in a normal module 
or as private in the module you call CopyMemory

#If Win64 Then
Public Const gcPtrBytes As Long = 8
#Else
Public Const gcPtrBytes As Long = 4
#End If

and
CopyMemory ptrName, ByVal ptrName, gcPtrBytes

Only a guess with not much to go on!
