    Combo Box add new entry

    I have created a combo box that list the suppliers of a product from another table. Is there anyway I can have the very bottom option of the combo box to have an option to open a separate form to add a new entry to that table if the value needed is not in the combo box? For example, I want to purchase a product from Vendor D, but only have entries for Vendor A, B and C in the Vendor table. Can I make the 4th option in the combo box something that says "Add New Vendor" and when clicked, it will open up the Vendor form to add the information for Vendor D?
