Combobox allow entry not in the row source

I have a combobox on a form.  The combobox allows the user to select from a list of options.  But is there a way to allow the user to enter a string of characters in the combobox that are not in the list as a one-time entry only?  It other words I want it to be allowed but not entered in the combobox rowsource table.

Doesn't this break the rules of a properly normalized database?  Just a question.
Why it breaks the rules and how ? if you enter a filter that originally was not supposed to be shown nothing is entered...in the other case is your choice to save the record.
