    Look at BOL 2k5 for sp_dbcmptlevel stored procedure where you set the backwards compatibility level.

    You can also run the Upgrade Advisor tool included with 2005 to indentify the incompatable code so that it can be corrected to run properly under 2005 natively. See BOL for more info on the Upgrade Advisor.
