I know, I know, I look stupid, but...
I gracefully created one DB on my computer with SQL Management studio. Put all what I need in it and after I sit back to enjoy my work I realize that instead on SQL Server 2000 I created it on SQL Server 2005 instance. I changed compatibility level of this DB to 80 (SQL Server 2000) detached it and tryed w/o avail to attach it on SQL Server 2000. Tryed to Backup this DB with SQL MS and then restore it with EM, again w/o avail.
Is there any other way to move that DB to SQL Server 2000 w/o scripting and run the script in QA?
BTW no new features of SQL Server 2005 are used in this DB.

TIA

Thank you Denis. I asked because I imagine what would happen if I must go to some client computer, prepare data on my notebook and after I travel 500 km I realise that I've done this on SQL Server 2005 and the user has only MSDE instaled, no network etc. (all worst thinks you can imagine) :)
This would never happen of course but I must be prepared for everything like boyscout) :)
Thank you again.

Script out the objects, then use DTS or SSIS to transfter the data from SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
