>I have some fields in a table. I want to check this bunch of fields to see if they are all EMPTY(). What's the best way to do it? Maybe I need to use EMPTY() instead? But I was comparing one after another and it was not very efficient. Thanks in advance.

Are they all character data? If so:

IF LEN(ALLTRIM(AddLine1 + AddLine2 + ...)) = 0

Obviously, this tells you ony if all of them are empty, not which ones.

If this during data validation? You might be able to take advantage of GETFLDSTATE() instead. GETFLDSTATE(-1,cAlias) returns a string with a single character for each field in the record telling you if the field content was changed; the first position indicates the deletion status, and the remaining positions correspond to the fields in field number order.
