Microsoft SQL Server has been continually improving its Java connectivity support.  As such we highly recommend you work with the latest version of our JDBC driver.  The driver version i.e. SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver, that you are looking for is no longer available for download (please note that the support for the this driver will officially end on July 9, 2010).  To download the latest JDBC drivers and additional information see:

•         Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver Download Page - http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/jdbc
•         SQL Server CSS Support Page - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895929.aspx

If you would like to provide feedback to the JDBC team, need advice on which version to download, or would like to communicate with the JDBC team, please feel free to do so here (http://blogs.msdn.com/jdbcteam/contact.aspx).
