I am assuming your database is not in compatibility 80 if it is then you may want to move to at least 90 for 2005 before going 100 which is for 2008.
Ouch, my ignorance is showing. How do I find out whether my production database is compatibility 80 or compatibility 90? Is that something I just have to ask the support team at the hosting company?
UPDATE: after a little research I realized that I do have to ask my ISP support team, and I did so.
