Can I convert SQL Server 2000 db backup file to 7.0?

[malexanian]

Is there any way to convert a backup of a database in SQL Server 2000 to 7.0 format so I can do a database restore in 7.0 of the file? I get a version error when I try to restore the file in SQL Server 7.0.

I cannot access the instance of SQL Server 2000 to use DTS or BCP; all I have is the full database backup. There is no other instance of SQL Server 2000 I have access to that I could restore to and DTS from. Please let me know if there are any utilities that perform this file conversion.

only way is restore that backup on any sql 2000 box and then do a copy database thru DTS or export it.
