Checkboxes with dialog boxes

How can I create a checkbox in a Word form that opens a dialog popup box if
the box is hovered over or checked (preferably when it is checked)? I want it
so that if the user checks the box, the box will advise them that they should
be using a different form.
 
If in a protected form, you could have an OnExit macro from the checkbox
field that displays a message box if the value of the field is checked.
This is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about
online forms, follow the links at

Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
