I am trying to copy a database from sql2000 to sql2005 but it is giving me the following error:
To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management studio or SQL server management objects (SMO)

this can be done or servers are not compatible?

SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager is not compatible with SQL 2005. You would have to use either SQL Workbench, or bcp out all the data, and bcp it back in to the 2005 database.

You can run data import wizard in sql2k5 ssms to copy data from sql2k db.
