Basically you cant convert back to VB (assuming VB 5 or 6).
There are ways of doing it for earlier versions, and there are apparently ways of getting some form of code (usually Assembly code) out of a VB 5/6 exe, which is not likely to be readable to a VB-only developer.
The easiest option is likely to be reverse-engineering the software (give it several sets of input, and work out what it does each time).
