Default How to avoid creating duplicate calendar item

I'm working on this tool that among other things creates an item on the users
outlook calendar. I would like to prevent creating duplicate items, that is
the tool should check to see if the calendar item exists before creating it.
Anyone have any thoughts on what the most effective way to do that is?
BTW I would consider the item duplicate if the subject and start time are
the same.

Default How to avoid creating duplicate calendar item

So do a find or restrict on the subject and start time to see if there are
any items in that folder that match your new item.
