Run SQL Server 7.0 in Windows 2003

Dear all,
Lately, we bought a new server to replace existing old one. After
installation of SQL7, we followed to install the service pack 4 into it.
During the installation, we found SQL7 didn't support in 2003. And we
continued the process until it finished. Is there any problem on using SQL7
in windows server 2003? Since we have some application supported in SQL7
only, we have to keep using SQL7. Anyone know there's any impact using SQL7
in windows 2003? Please help

EllisIs there a technical reason your applications can't use SQL Server 2000?
SQL Server 7.0 will run, it just won't be a supported configuration. So if
you run into a problem with *ANY* software on that box, and try to call MS
product support, they'll tell you good luck and have a nice day...

2K installation but running in 7.0 compatibility mode? I'd try it with a fu
ll blown upgrade but, if you run into problems, try again in the old 7.0 com
patibility.
