Restore using SQLDMO

I am using SQLDMO for restoring database from back up file . If the back up file version(SQL2000) is differenent than database version(SQL Express) I am trying to restore, does SQLDMO performs upgrade if the backup files are an earlier version. if no how can i handle that situation?It should restore the database on the server, but set it to compatability level 80, so the SQL 2000 functionality will still be there.
