Stan: I don't know as I would call anything involving MSSQL Server 'painless", but it can be done.
Do a search of the list archive (http://lists.mysql.com/), looking for 'SQL7' or 'MSSQL'. There have been dozens of posts over the last couple of years describing different ways to approach the task. You should be able to use the same techniques port MSSQL Server 2000. Regardless of the technique you use, there will be some editing required on the table creation scripts. When you get to that, the MySQL Manual is your friend.

Is there any painless way or good documentation on how to convert a database from Micro$soft $QL 2000 into MySql? Thanks in advance for any directions you can point me to.
