Filling Combo box with values from a query & value list

Hi,

Just wondering if you can mix values in a combo box.

I want to fill it up with some query such as:
select name from tblDetails;

and that may produce a combo box with:
"John"
"Peter"
"Frank"

but I also want in that list... a string literal in it, without adding
a record row to the tblDetails.
"John"
"Peter"
"Frank"
"Blha Blah Blah"

Thanks

Something like:
Select tblDetails.NameField from tblDetails Union Select 'Blah Blah
Blah' from tblDetails Order by tblDetails.NameField;
