You could fire an additional SELECT query to see if the item exists before you insert it.

Something along these lines would work:
Code:
Dim rsCheck
Set rsCheck = myConnection.Execute("SELECT 1 FROM MyTable WHERE Column1 = 'SomeValue' AND Column2 = 'SomeOtherValue'")
If rsCheck.EOF Then
  ' Record does no exist, so go ahead and insert a new one
Else
  ' Do whatever you need to do when the record exists
End If
rsCheck.EOF
Set rsCheck = Nothing
Does this help??
