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.

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.
