You can use the form's timer to change something every few seconds.

On the forms TimerInterval section

Lets say you are rotating three images. You would have all three images sat on top of each other on the form. At any one time 1 is visible 2 are not.

Sub Timer()

If Me.Image1.Visible = True Then
   Me.Image1.Visible = False
   Me.Image2.Visible = True
   Me.Image3.Visible = False
ElseIf Me.Image2.Visible = True Then
   Me.Image2.Visible = False
   Me.Image3.Visible = True
   Me.Image1.Visible = False
ElseIf Me.Image3.Visible = True Then
  Me.Image3.Visible = False
  Me.Image1.Visible = True
  Me.Image2.Visible = False
End If

End Sub
