Converting SQL 2005 to SQL2000

I have a client that asked me to write a .Net app for them using VB2005 and SQL2005.  I started the project and now they have learned that their IT shop will not support SQL2005 at this point and we need to move it to SQL2000.  How can I get the database files and stored procs over to 2000   Is it as easy as doing a backup in 2005 and restore under 2000  
Thanks...

    Hi,

    Yup you could install both on the same machine. That's currently my setup.

    Using DTS is a great idea.  I will give it a try.  Many thanks!

    Hi,

    Still haven't tried backup and restore. But manually you could generate scripts in your SQL2005 the execute it in SQL2000. Or you could try using DTS to move it to 2000...

    One last question.  Can I have SQL2005 and SQL2000 on the same machine, or can I have only one installed at a time
