The autonumber is changed to random because the GUIDs will be assigned
in no given order because the GUID is based on the machine it is created
on.  You wouldn't want to use that as your visible case number, but if
you work with replication, you'll work with GUIDs, whether you see them
or not.  If you use an alternative scheme, you'll have to allow for all
possible circumstances yourself.
