Access violation reading location 0x00184000

having troubles with the following line

HR(md3dDevice->CreateBuffer(&vbd, &vinitData, &mVB));

it appears the CreateBuffer method is having troubles reading &mVB. mVB is defined in box.h and looks like this

ID3D10Buffer* mVB;

Below is the code it its entirety. this is all files that mVB is in.

[EDIT] Arguements being passed for m and n dx is

m = 129, n = 129, dx = 1.0f (they are all floats)

m and n stand for rows and columns perspectively. dx is the width and height.

Thanks again for the help

If you want a pointer to the data array of a vector, you should use &vec[0]. If you use &vec it will give you a pointer to the vector object, which might contain all kinds management structures/... that have nothing to do with the data you inserted into the vector.

The data itself is stored at continuous memory starting at &vec[0], so use that when you initialize your D3D structures.
