How are you creating the macro in Visual Build? Did you go to the Macros tab, Insert, and check the Encrypt option? If so, the macro value will be stored encrypted in the .bld file and obscured when the macro value is later displayed in the Macros pane, properties dialog, etc.

If you instead created a Set Macro step with Encrypt checked, the macro value will be encrypted when the step is built, but the value when entered into the Set Macro step or stored in the .bld file will not be encrypted (this is by design).

Logging the macro value from a build will show its value, since the build has to use actual macro values to function properly.
