It all depends on how you have set up your connection string. If the database is in a server then obviously you will need to provide the network path, if not then database has to present locally.

If your application is expecting to use a local database then you must install Server 2000 on the computer and set up the database. If your application connected to a remote computer that was hosing the database then you would not have to do this.
