I have SQL 2000 set as my default server - I will be transitioning to SQL 2005 - so have that installed as a seperate named instance on the same box - can I set my SQL 2005 ldf and mdf files to use the same as my SQL 2000 - if possible - will it cause any problems?

Are you referring to the default location of the database files?

you want both your SQL 2000 and 2005 to use the same mdf + ldf files ? That will not be possible
