    Can you restore a complete backup from SQL7 to SQL 2005 or should I take the db backup to sql2000 first?  Thx in advance Steve.

    yes, you can directly restore a SQl 7 or a SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005, without any intermediate steps;

    the restore process creates the mdb files in the SQL 2005 format, and of course any backups you create from 2005 are restoreable only on SQL2005, but that is a given i think.

     

    There's no need to find a 2000 server to get this over to your 2005 instnace.
