  • Change the compatibility level of the DB to 7.0 (SQL 7).  You should then be able to generate the code scripts required to rebuild the database on your other server and then DTS EXPORT the data to the SQL 7 box.

    I am sure there is an easier way but, I think this way should work for you. 

    Please note that IF you have developed any code that uses table variables, SCHEMABOUND views, etc..  that were introduced in SQL 2K then this probably won't work.

  • I just tried yesterday using DTS from SQL 2000 and exported in SQL 7 which worked successfully.
