Insert/update values from a ms project

Im trying to read a ms project file and insert milestone data into a table my code looks like this
Set prjProject = prjApp.Projects(1)

For i = 1 To prjProject.Tasks.Count
If prjProject.Tasks(i).Milestone = "True" Then

rst.AddNew
rst!Desc = prjProject.Tasks(i).Name
rst!Milestone_Baseline = prjProject.Tasks(i).Baseline1Start
rst!Milestone_Plan = prjProject.Tasks(i).Baseline1Start
rst.Update

End If

You have multiple solutions to this problem.
Personally I would probably import a new set of data in a (temp) new table.
Next perform a DELETE query on the "main" table to remove the dupes with the new file and finally append the temp table with the main table to get the actual up to date info.
Remains the set of milestones that aren't present in the new data and obviously are ended or deleted.
These could also be identified on forehand with the temp table and "marked" when needed.
