Let me guess... It's a data member of some class, isn't it?

'AfcBeginThread' is not a standard C++ function. You would be much better
off asking in a newsgroup where it's on topic, like a Windows programming
newsgroup or an MFC one...

"Correct and verified" where? Before you call 'AfxBeginThread'?

The simplest idea I have is that your thread does not share the address
space with the rest of the program. When you pass in the pointer value,
it gets the pointer, but it's a pointer in a completely different area of
the process memory.

Try asking in a Microsoft newsgroup, like comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.*
