From the Replication FAQ:

44. How do I recover a lost or corrupted Design Master?
Synchronize all of the replicas in your replica set to make sure that
all existing members are up to date. Then choose one of them to be the
new Design Master. You can make it the Design Master either from the
Replication menus, the Replication Manager, or from code by setting the
DesignMasterID property.
45. How can I transfer Design Master status to another replica member?
Microsoft Access 2000 allows transfer of the Design Master status by
using the UI (on the Tools menu, point to Replication, and then click
Recover Design Master). In the Synchronize Database <dbname> dialog box,
enable the check box to make the target replica the new Design Master.
Behind the scenes, the Jet database engine is transferring the
DesignMasterID property to the ReplicaID property of the target replica.
