    Assuming that your SQL2000 and Visual Studio are on the same server, you can
    simply log yourself in as the local admin of that machine. By default,
    SQL2000 would allow the local admin to get in as a SQL sysadmin, and you'll
    have all the rights in SQL2000 including creating databases.

    If you have a domain on the home LAN and your Visual Studio is running on a
    different server, you can add the domain account you use to work with Visual
    Studio to the local administrators group on the server that runs the SQL
    2000 instance. As long as you use this domain account, you can get into the
    SQL2000 instance with all the rights.

    Of course, you need to make sure that you are using Windows authentication.

    If you want to be minimalist and restrict yourself to creating database
    only, you can first get into SQL2000 as sysadmin and grant login to the
    account you'll be using with Visual Studio, grant the login access to the
    master database, and then grant CREATE DATABASE to the user in the master
    database.
