I did this on a test server and it seemed to be ok. Are there any dangers/gotcha's in doing this?

Thanks,
Daniel

If you know the application will work on 2000, then change its compatibility mode to 80 as its at 70 upon restore/upgrade. I haven't run into any problems in the past with 7.0 to 2000 upgrades. The problems that we ran into with upgrades was from 6.5 to 7.0 or 6.5 to 2000.
