Yes it can. All you need is an ODBC driver to do it. You could setup a linked server inside SQL Server 2000 that points to the MySql database via an ODBC driver.

I take it you can then call sql 2000 stored procedures and
use DTS for transferring data between the two?

Can you also create views across both?
