1.assign two flags for the files.
2.generate a random number.
3.display one picture if the number is even or the other if that is odd.

Hi, Rnd () function generates random number.

 Help with Code Tags 
 vb Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
   Dim iNumber As Integer
 
   Randomize
   iNumber = Int(2 * Rnd)
   If iNumber = 1 Then
      'Head
   Else
      'Tail
   End If
   Dim iNumber As Integer

   Randomize
   iNumber = Int(2 * Rnd)
   If iNumber = 1 Then
      'Head
   Else
      'Tail
   End If

This code generates 0 or 1 randomly

rnd is tricky one every time you start application it will to same order for example make it in command button first time you click it will flip 1 second 1 third 1 fourth 0 fifth 0.

You need to replace that number 2 with some number that can't be so much predicted such as date + time numbers and look will resolut be odd or even.

Or you can just make timer with interval 1 make integer when timer activate incerease that integer by one and if that integer is bigger then 1 make it 0 that really hard to predict.
