With Assistant.NewBalloon
    .Heading = "Regional Sales Data"
    .Text = "Select your region"
    For i = 1 To 3
        .CheckBoxes(i).Text = "Region " & i
    Next
    .Button = msoButtonSetOkCancel
    .Show
    If .CheckBoxes(1).Checked Then
        runregion1
    End If
    If .CheckBoxes(2).Checked Then
        runregion2
    End If
    If .CheckBoxes(3).Checked Then
        runregion3
    End If
End With

Remarks

Balloon check boxes display the user's choices until the user dismisses the balloon. You can use balloon labels to return a number corresponding to the user's choice in the Select method as soon as the user clicks the button beside the label. To pass values to the Select method based on the user's choice, you must have the balloon type set to msoBalloonTypeButtons.
