Do you mean the username marked as "Owner" for your db has been removed from the workgroup file?

They deleted the person that created the database. I think that he signed on
with his name as a user name.  Not sure what that user name was, but when
they deleted him all rights to look at macros, forms, queries has gone away.
I am now charged with recovering the database and modifing it.

Well some user has to be a member of the Admins Group - log in as that user.
