I hope you find one but I doubt you will. The problem is the basic structure of the source; VB is event-driven (all code is executed by one event or another) and QB isn't.

It might not be too hard to convert though depending on the type of app.

When looking for a utility to convert from one language to another, the answer is usually "there isn't one", and when there is one the answer is usually "there is...but it sucks". I wouldn't get your hopes up for a simple converter program.

You can, possibly, convert it by hand - as KDivad Leahcim said, this depends on the type of program.

Please provide more information... maybe we could help you convert it by hand, if we had the source? If the source isn't too long, perhaps post it here. If it is long, perhaps give a link?
