You need to review the changes introduced in SQL Server 2005 and validate that your code is not using any deprecated features that will no longer work when you change the compatibility level.

Lookup the changes in books online - and then start reviewing your code.

If you still have the 2000 system available, download and install the Upgrade Advisor for SQL Server 2005. This will identify most (not all) of the issues that you will need to address.

Once you have that, change the compatibility level on a TEST SYSTEM and start testing everything in your system. Once you are comfortable that you have corrected everything and those changes have been migrated to production - schedule the change. Just be prepared to handle any of the fallout from the change - as there is a real possibility that someone will have issues after the change and you will need to be able to fix it right away.
