Usage at a Glance

The Exit statement is used as follows:

Statement	Description
Exit Do	Exits a Do...Loop statement. If the statement appears in nested Do...Loop loops, only the innermost loop is exited. Program execution continues with the first line of code after the exited loop.
Exit For	Exits a For...Next or a For Each...Next loop. If the statement appears in nested For loops of any type, only the innermost loop is exited. Program execution continues with the first line of code after the exited loop.
Exit Function	Exits the current function and returns control to the calling procedure.
Exit Property	Exits the current property (either Get or Set) and returns control to the calling procedure.
Exit Select	Exits a Select Case construct. If the statement appears in nested Select Case blocks, only the innermost block is exited. Program execution continues with the first line of code after the exited block.
Exit Sub	Exits the current sub procedure and returns control to the calling procedure.
Exit Try	Exits a try...Catch block. Program execution proceeds with the Finally block if it is present or, otherwise, with the statement following the End Try statement.
Exit While	Exits a While...End While statement. If the statement appears in nested While...End

While loops, only the innermost loop is exited. Program execution continues with the first line of code after the exited loop.
