SQL Server 2005 / 2000 compatibility

Can I upgrade my SQL Server instance to 2005, but keep one of the databases in a 2000-compatible format We want to upgrade, but we have vendor software that is not 2005-supported. (Might work, but we'd be on our own.)

    Would need more information, but you would need to run two servers and the apps would have to reference which one they needed.  I am working on mirgating two of my apps to SQL Server 2005 and still support 2000 versions.  It is going fine and .Net 2003 does not know the difference.
