VBP seems to be ignoring preprocessor settings

If you use project dependencies for .lib binding, you'll definitely want to have that option checked. It sounds like an issue with VC6 when building from the command line (what the Make VC6 action ultimately invokes to actually build a workspace or project). You can verify this by checking the 'Show command-line...' checkbox on the Options tab, rebuilding the step, then copying and pasting the msdev command-line(s) from the build output to a Command Prompt and running from there. If it occurs outside of VBP, you'll need to open a support incident with MS. Otherwise, we'll need a reproducible case to investigate further, including:
1) The .bld file used to build
2) A build log file
3) A .dsw file and .dsp files (no source code files)

Thanks again for replying. The compiles are failing from the command line but working in the IDE. I'm still looking into this.
