When the user clicks submit:
1) dim notthere as boolean = true
2) run a query: "select name from table where name = '" the name in the box + "'"

3) if query is EOF then name is not there
4) ELSE notthere = false

5) if notthere then
6) make your insert

I would suggest reading the many tutorials that are already out there on the Internet. Check out ASP.Net for starters.
