      You cannot.

      You could look for a scripting tool. Modify the script to remove any SQL Server 2005 enhancements then run the script on SQL Server 2000 - It is still risky though.

        i think you can not directly restore bak from SQL 2005 to 2000 but if you dont want data n want only structure n procedures of database den u can use Generate script

            here is no "Restore" functionality, but there is a workaround to copy 2005 databases to 2000: Right-click on DB -> tasks -> generate scripts select DB and click "script all objects...", hit next select any options you want, specifically changing "script for server version" to SQL Server 2000 next through and run the script Now just export data from the 2005 database to the newly-created 2000 database. Right-click on DB -> tasks -> export... set source and hit next set destination and hit next select "copy data from one or more tables", hit next select all, check "optimize for many tables" and "run in a transaction" you may have to edit each table mapping and check "enable identity insert" next through to finish plz check it out i hope dis will work 4 u

            Reasons are not Important but Results are Important
