The end of an era...
After 6 years of running (since 1996), Visual Basic Island has been closed down. The owners of the site have moved onto bigger
and better things and the page out of date for a long time. Unfortunately, due to the amount of mail we still get
we have to shut down the site completely as we are unable to respond to such a high volume.
Fortunately, in the last few years, Visual Basic attained a great great amount of web sites dedicated to helping
people and we would like to suggest some of the following sites for you to visit.
Thank you for all your support and we wish you all the best in your VB coding!
