Stop a sub procedure that calls other procedures & funtions...VBA'ers

I have a sub procedure that makes a few calls to other procudures to validate data. How do I make the procedure making the call stop? For example, I call a procedure that checks to make sure data has been entered in a textbox. My message displays requesting data, but the calling procedure continues. Thanks for helping.

Exit Sub won't quite do it.

Exit Sub will stop the procedure called. But the calling procedure keeps running.

Maybe I should rephrase the question.....

I have a procedure that validates data entry for a text box. I call that procedure numerous times to validate many different text boxes. When I find a bad entry I want the whole program to stop and place the focus on that text box. The Exit Sub is stopping the procedure that does the validating, but the sub's that call it continue. I need to stop everything.
