Since the Language Reference does not have details on Enumerators, how do you define an item to have a specific value?

You simply enter it with an equals sign, like you would with a constant:

item = value

Basically I want to add an item with a value of -1 whereas all of the other values are positive. Since I am already storing existing values in a database, how do I assure that the existing values do not change?

If you don't specify the value of an enumeration constant, it will adopt the value of the previous item, plus one. If you don't specify the value of the first constant in the enumeration, it will be equal to zero.
