As you will see shortly, I am new to the site, I was referred here by Ratcat.
I am currently using Access 2007. I am creating this database for where I work.
Since I read the Rules I know to post the following link:

This post is very close to the question I am about to ask. Only this one is more complex imo.
Since I consider this a somewhat complex question. I am going to relate it to the Northwind Database. I have a form very similar to the Order Details form in the 2007 Northwind Database. Problem is with the number of "Products" in the drop down list located in the subform. I would like it so when you double click the Product ID line on the Order Details form it opens another form I have created which has filters and a search box to help go from 40000 products down to a few for quick finding of the products. I have a field similar to the "Open/New" that reads select. I want when I click select next to the "Filtered Product I want" I want that Product to be entered into the combo box on the Order Details form, and then the after update macro to run. It doesn't necessarily have to happen like that. I could also have a button on the form that says Add Product or something like that. When you click it, it opens that same form, when you select a product it adds the product to the next spot on the form, ie a new spot.
Simpler Description,
Use combo box to select from list, or double click it to open a new form.
On the new form use search box to filter results, click select on new form to select product.
New product that was selected is entered into the combo box on Order Details subform.
New form closes, the world is great again.
Any and all advice is appreciated. I am a mid level access user/low to mid level vba. more on the low side.
Thanks in advance for any time you spend trying to help me, and any suggestions you may provide. If you need more data please ask!
