Sending cursor to TextBox

I created several textboxes using the forms control. The textboxes are on a worksheet. I also have a command button that evaluates each of the entry in the textbox. When the code encounters an empty textbox, I want to bring the cursor [focus] back to the empty textbox. I don't have a setfocus property in any of the textbox that I'm using. So, how to accomplish this?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
I've never used forms on a sheet before, this works on a userform, but nor sure if it'll be of any use to you
Code:
    If TextBox1.Value = "" Then
        TextBox1.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
    End If

Thanks, but this does not work for me. I believe this works using the Textbox in ActiveX control. I'm using the Textbox in Forms control, which does not have a Focus property.
