sql server - Migrate SQL2000 Database to SQL2005 on another machine -


i've been beating myself on head app migration few days now. have old mssql server 2000-backed application being upgraded windows 2003 server running smsql server 2005. know little sql server not enough.

i tried backing database on old server going databases->[database]->all tasks->backup database..., selecting 'full', , saving file. moved backup file new server , tried restore complained saying looking [database].mdf file in location on old server.

so tried export data, selected local sql 2000 database, pointed new sql 2005 database on other machine, , gets way end , dies complaining way 1 of tables being joined.

i tried doing 'generate sql' command on 2000 box , running under sql 2005. looks there lot of outer joins using old *= syntax sql server 2005 doesn't support anymore and, being vendor database, have no idea true intentions when set these tables.

is there other way can try migrating database over?

the backup file has "hard" location of data files stored in it. need update them:

when restore in 2005, before click final "ok" restore (after have selected .bak file), go options tab. have mdf , ldf locations in backup file. change these legitimate directories on new machine.
