You will need to set up a #ifdef'd section to handle both cases: One for if UNICODE is defined (meaning TCHAR is defined as wchar_t) and the other for when it isn't defined (and you'll have to use MultiByteToWideChar to convert it).

TCHAR is either char or wchar_t based on your projects Unicode/MBCS setting. If you're compiling as unicode, achValue can be used as a LPWSTR. If not, you need to use MultiByteToWideChar in order to convert the characters in achValue from the encoding you use to UTF-16.

If your project file has UNICODE flag defined, then you can simply do LPWSTR p = achValue;
