There is a developer's edition of both SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2000, but they cost about $500 apiece. I doubt that the evaluation version of SQL Server 7 is still available from Microsoft, because it's no longer the current product. You have some options, though. First, you can do development on SQL Server 2000 and deploy against SQL Server 7 - there are very few differences beyond new features in SQL Server 2000. For the vast majority of stuff you're going to do, it won't make a difference. Also, you can get the SQL 7 compatible version of MSDE, and work against that. You can use the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager to manage it, although you won't want to just install it on your SQL Server 2000 machine.
