Add and Update Single Item in Sharepoint List via VBA

I am trying to add and/or update single items in a sharepoint list via VBA and I found a similar question: Import Sharepoint 2010 list data from Excel table using VBA

But i have to say that I can only delete items with this code and I am not familiar with this code to understand how i add.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Also I was here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.updatelistitems(v=office.12).aspx but i just dont get it

Sub Add_Item(ListName As String, SharepointUrl As String, ValueVar As String, FieldNameVar As String)

Dim objXMLHTTP As MSXML2.XMLHTTP

Dim strListNameOrGuid As String
Dim strBatchXml As String
Dim strSoapBody As String

Set objXMLHTTP = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP

strListNameOrGuid = ListName


'Add New Item'
strBatchXml = "<Batch OnError='Continue'><Method ID='3' Cmd='New'><Field Name='ID'>New</Field><Field Name=" + FieldNameVar + ">" + ValueVar + "</Field></Method></Batch>"


objXMLHTTP.Open "POST", SharepointUrl + "_vti_bin/Lists.asmx", False
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=""UTF-8"""
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/UpdateListItems"

strSoapBody = "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' " _  
 & "xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' " _
 & "xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><soap:Body><UpdateListItems " _
 & "xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'><listName>" & strListNameOrGuid _
 & "</listName><updates>" & strBatchXml & "</updates></UpdateListItems></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>"

 objXMLHTTP.send strSoapBody

If objXMLHTTP.Status = 200 Then
'   Do something with response
End If

Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing

End Sub

Now i got it. This is how you can Add items to a sharepoint list. FieldNameVar is the name of a Field you have to put something in (for example could this Value be 'Title') and ValueVar is the Value you put in the FieldNameVar field.
