I have a combo box where i store some of our product numbers for my users.
The box works great for all product numbers that do not start with a " 3".
When my user begins typing a number that start with a "3" for example "35022"
the auto fill is filling in the first product starting with a "3" like
"30000" and as my user continues to type in the rest of the number it is
just adding what they are typing to the auto filled value resulting in a
value similar to "350220000". Again this is only happening when the number
starts with a "3" all other numbers are working properly.

Wow. That's wierd, and sounds like either you have some code trapping
the keystrokes, or a bug.

What version of Access? All service packs up to date? Does it do this
in only one database, or is it reproducible in other databases? Is the
field in fact a Text type field or a number field?

The field is a text field my product is office professional 2003 and I am up
to date with patches and service packs. I do have the same issue in other
databases.
