About the technology
What it is
Visual Basic is a Microsoft language family used to build business software, desktop tools, and Office automation. Companies still rely on it through classic VB, VB6, VB.NET, and Visual Basic for Applications, often in systems that must stay stable and easy to maintain.
Typical work
- Maintain and extend legacy VB6 applications
- Build internal Windows forms tools in VB.NET
- Automate Excel, Access, and Outlook with VBA
- Connect VB applications to databases and APIs
- Refactor old code toward clearer, safer structures
Ecosystem
Visual Basic work often sits close to the Microsoft stack. Strong specialists know Windows, .NET, COM, ADO, SQL Server, and Office object models, and they can move between classic code and newer .NET-based parts without breaking existing workflows.
When companies bring help
Teams usually look for freelance Visual Basic expertise when a system is old, business-critical, and poorly documented. That is common in finance, manufacturing, logistics, and administration, including many companies in Germany that still depend on long-lived internal tools and VBA-heavy reporting.
What strong specialists do
A good Visual Basic professional reads unfamiliar code quickly and protects existing behavior before changing it. They test carefully, clean up forms and modules, fix database access, and leave the code base easier to support for the next person.
Signs you need one
- Your VB6 or VBA code is fragile or undocumented
- Office macros break after updates or policy changes
- A Windows tool still matters to daily operations
- You need a bridge from Visual Basic to .NET
- Your team needs outside help for a short, focused effort
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Visual Basic? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Visual Basic is used for internal Windows tools, Office automation, database forms, reporting, and maintenance of older business systems. Many teams still use it through VB6, VB.NET, and VBA because the code already supports daily operations and is often cheaper to extend than replace.
Visual Basic is the broader language family, while VBA is the Office automation variant and VB.NET is the .NET version. In hiring, this matters because a freelancer who is strong in VBA may be ideal for Excel or Access work, but not for a classic VB6 desktop application.
Hire a Visual Basic specialist when the application still does useful work, but the code is hard to change, the original team is gone, or urgent fixes keep coming up. A good freelancer can stabilize the system, document it, and help you plan a controlled path away from it if needed.
A strong Visual Basic professional usually also knows SQL, Windows forms, COM, ADO, and the Microsoft Office object model. For modern work, .NET, debugging legacy code, and safe database integration are often just as important as the language itself.
For small VBA tasks, a focused Visual Basic specialist may be enough. For VB6 applications or systems tied to databases and business logic, you want someone who has handled legacy code, deployment issues, and careful refactoring before.
Most Visual Basic work can be done remotely if the specialist has access to the code base, test data, and a clear contact person. On-site time in Germany is sometimes useful for old internal systems, user workshops, or access-restricted environments, but it is not always required.
Look for someone who can explain old code clearly, name risks early, and make changes without breaking existing behavior. Strong Visual Basic experts share test cases, document assumptions, and know when to modernize a module versus when to leave stable code alone.
A Visual Basic assignment often means cleaning up legacy logic, fixing forms, tracing database calls, or automating Office workflows that business users rely on every day. Good freelancers are comfortable with imperfect code, old documentation, and practical deadlines.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Visual Basic in their recent projects is 98 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 782 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Visual Basic in their recent projects, 82% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 50% hold at least a Master's degree, and 7% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Visual Basic in their recent projects have 26 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3.3 years.
