    The unfortunate thing is that simply importing the database to 2005 and changing the compatibility mode to 90 won't tell you of these types of problems. You won't know there is a problem until you try to run the proc the first time.

    Yes as Paul points out the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor works very well for this purpose. Also try the BPA (Best Practice Analyzer) as it gives some valuable information as well.
