As far as I know:

There is an option to Randomly generate an AutoNumber column. There isn't an option to make them only positive and 10 digits.

I actually use this in one of my tables, and typically the length is 8+ digits, however there are negative numbers. Neither fits your criteria.

If you go to the design view of your Table, select the column in question. Make sure the Data Type is AutoNumber, and locate the Field Properties pane at the bottom. You can select Random in the New Values dropdown list.

Unfortunately, I think you would have to take this into your own hands and create a public function to do this for you.
