dbo's Login Name is blank and can't be edited from Enterprise Manager

We are using SQL Server 2000 SP4. I just created a new database from the EM
but found that in the Users folder under this new db name the Login Name for
dbo was blank. I double-clicked the dbo line and it showed <None> in the
properities dialog box which could not be edited. Is it okay to exe
sp_changedbowner 'sa' sepcially for this new database? Or any better idea?
Thanks,

Yes, sp_changedbowner will fix the database owner. I think it's odd that a
new database would have a NULL owner, though. I usually see that only when
the Windows account that was the database owner is deleted.
Hope this helps.
