To handle binary data with a MSComm receiver is a tricky exercise of using bytes and variants. Here is a code snippet that worked for me.

Private bbuf(256) as byte
Private ByteCount as Integer

Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
Dim v As Variant
Dim b() As Byte

'ByteCount should be set to 0 for start of RX

Select Case MSComm1.CommEvent
Case comEvReceive
MSComm1.InputLen = 1
Do While MSComm1.InBufferCount > 0
v = MSComm1.Input
b = v
bbuf(ByteCount) = b(0)
ByteCount = ByteCount + 1
Loop
End Select
End Sub
