Yes, you can connect CFMX 7.0.2 to SQL Server 2000 and 2005 instances on the same box. Each instance should have its own IP listener on a unique port. I suspect that SQL Server 2005 is now listening on the port you were previously using for SQL Server 2000. You should be able to find out what's listening on what ports by running the command "netstat -ab". I don't know enough about Express specifically to know whether it has the same network management interface as SQL Server 2005 Standard or Enterprise.
