You can jump out of any loop using the exit whatever statement.

public Sub CheckEmpty(frm as Form, ctl as Control)
' start looping
for Each ctl In frm
If TypeOf ctl is TextBox then
' check if textbox is filled in
If ctl.Text = "" then
' it isn't, display message
MsgBox " Fields should not be empty "
' give the control the focus
ctl.SetFocus
' stop checking for more
' Exit for is used, because we are in a for loop
Exit for
End If
End If
next ctl
End Sub
