subject: Counter Field Question

Does anyone know how to get a Counter field to start with a value
other than 1?  I'm constantly building/refining an Access database
for customer/client info, and we may end up someday having to merge
batches of records from several different sources.  I'm using a
Counter field as a Record ID and primary key, so of course I'd like
to be able to merge these batches of records without the Record IDs
colliding.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
