Does MSDE 2000 come with the enterprise manager that can access both versions? Is there any problems with the installation of 2K that I need to look out for?

Thank you for any help that you can give."

You just install it as a named instance. No MSDE 2000 does not come with SQL client tools and you won't be able to use the 7.0 tools to view a 2000 database. I would purchase the developer edition of 2000 for 49 bucks from MS instead of using MSDE.
