Strange Id Keys in Access db

At work they have an Access db that has very long, and
strange to my eyes, Id (key) numbers. They remind me of
some of the strange stuff I've seen in the Windows Registry,
something like this:

{59127-1555-322-579892- [and on, and on]}

I thought maybe these were from the Random key generator,
but I just tried that, and it doesn't throw out any kind of
number like that above. Nobody in the small office where I
work seems to know anything (What's a key? <g>). It's one
of those, "Oh yeah, whatsisname worked on that a long time
ago--I think he's dead now", type of things.

I'm curious if this might be something imported from another
DBMS.

Would anyone here,who has some clues, care to comment?
 
Is the field set as an AutoNumber in the table? If so, is the Field Size set
to Replication ID instead of Long Integer?
