I have a situation where I want to take data from a local sql server
2000 db and update a remote database. I have the sql all set, was
wondering if this can be done in a timed interval with a stored
procedure on the local db.
Thanks in advance for your time

It depends what data you want to copy. If you want to copy all changes from
the source database to the target, then you could look at log shipping or
replication. If you want to copy only a subset of data, then replication
would still be an option (you can replicate data conditionally), but you
might find it easier to write your own procedure.
Also, you need to bear in mind what the network connection is like. If both
servers are on the same LAN, then you could use linked servers to INSERT
directly from one to the other. But if you have a less reliable connection,
then you would probably want a different approach.
If this isn't helpful, you might want to give some more detail about exactly
what you need to do. You could also post in
microsoft.public.sqlserver.replication if you're interested in that
possibility.
