Hi, Rola
LPTSTR == const char * "A 32-bit pointer to a character string that is
portable for Unicode and DBCSYou function returning pointer to string ,no
value char",msdn
LPTSTR NaVelke(TCHAR str[])
{
    LPTSTR strTemp;
    strTemp = ::CharUpper((LPTSTR)str);
    return (strTemp + 2);
}

Function returning char (no pointer)
CHAR NaVelkeChar(TCHAR str[])
{
    LPTSTR strTemp;
    strTemp = ::CharUpper((LPTSTR)str);
    return *(strTemp + 2);
}

Modify:
void Function1a()
{
    TCHAR buff[] = "abcdefgh";
    LPTSTR str="\0\0"; //str must ended by 0
    *(str+0) = NaVelke(buff);
    MessageBox(str, NULL, MB_OK);// you must construct null terminating
                                                           //string str only
for MessageBox
}
