[AccessD] Simple Install to run SQL2000 Database

Group,

I have a client who wants to see the progress of a development 
project we are writing.  The database is SQL2000.  He doesn't have 
SQL2000 on his computer.  All we need is to be able to have something 
on his computer so that I can install a runtime of the Access XP ade 
and he can use it.  This is only a temporary solution until he gets a 
server with the full SQL2000 installed on it.

Since the temporary computer will not be accessible via a network, 
and it will not have a full version of Access XP on it, I am not sure 
that even if we got SQL2000 installed, we could connect to the 
database without coding the connection string (which is another matter).

Back to my original question - Is there a free version of SQL2000 
available, or will the free version of SQL2005 run SQL2000 
databases.  If so, does it have a tool like Enterprise manager for 
restoring datafiles etc?
