I have a maintenance plan in sql 2000 that gives me errors about not being in single mode. it won't back up any database. i'm not a sql guy but i have to maintain a couple of databases.

thanks

Is that single user mode?
Did you request it to do an integrity check and repair databases?
If so then that's the problem.

Don't use maintenance plans - it's easy to code it yourself and then you know what it is doing.
Here's an sp that will bcak up all databases

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

You can run dbcc checkdb if you want to.
