Generate 2k compatible script of 2k5 DB?

Does anyone know of a tool that will generate backwards compatible
scripts of an SQL Server 2005 database (so that it can be run on SQL
Server 2000 to create the DB and add the data)? I have views, stored
proc's, triggers, a function, and some roles that need to go with the
tables and their data as well. I've tried generating a script from SQL
Server management studio, but there are tons of errors when I try to
run it on a 2k server, even after I fix the syntax ones. There *has*
to be an easier way of doing this. I apologize if this is something
that is very well known, but this is the first time I've had to do it,
and I haven't found anything that looked like it would do it by
searching.
Thanks,
Oliver GarrauxThere is an option in the script wizard (script for server version) to
generate 2000 compatible code that you must check. But if you used some of
the 2005 features you may not be able to do this completely.

worked great for everything except a trigger and a view, and those
worked just fine with copying and pasting stuff. I appreciate your
help.
