Migrating back to SQL 7 from 2000. Possible ? Advisable ? using DT

Hello,
I have a weird task. After going to SQL 2000 from SQL 7 on a
weekend...after a few days...incase of problems... I might be asked to
revert back to SQL 7 with those upgrade SQL 2000 databases.
Now, I know this cannot be done, but is there a possibility of using DTS to
do this ?
I have tried DTS from SQL 2000 to SQL 7... out of the 6 databases it worked
for 4. Although it does seem kind of "unclean" way to do it.
With the 5th database, I can move everything but procedures. Some of the
procedures refer to columns in user tables which don't exist.
With the 6th database, it seems max precision is set to 38 on SQL 2000 but
only 28 on SQL 7. Which is why this one isn't working at all.
Any suggestions ? Over should I just mark this "unclean" way of going from
SQL 2000 to SQL 7 as NOT an option ?
Thanks in advance.

DTS-Copy Objects
Do you have an 'old' SQL Server7 backup files? I mean just RESTORE those
backup files to SQL Server 7 and SQL Server2000 out
