Public Sub SearchAndAdd()
Dim MyTask As Object, i As Object, k As Boolean

Set MyTask = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)

For Each i In MyTask.Items
If i.Subject = "DDD" Then
k = True
Exit For
End If
Next

If Not k Then
With MyTask.Items.Add
.Subject = "DDD"
.Body = "Text"
.Save
End With

For a less brute force approach:

Function GetTaskWithSubject(testSubject As String, appendText As String) As
Outlook.TaskItem
Dim oTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Dim colItems As Outlook.Items
Dim oFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set oFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
Set colItems = oFolder.Items

Set oTask = colItems.Find("[Subject] ='" & testSubject & "'")

If oTask Is Nothing Then
Set oTask = colItems.Add(olTaskItem)
oTask.Subject = testSubject
End If

oTask.Body = oTask.Body & appendText

Set GetTaskWithSubject = oTask
End Function
