I am doing a complete backup on a sql 7 db and then doing a complete
restore (with overwrite existing db) on a sql 2000 server. This is now
our hot standby server. I have the process automated and it works
great. The only problem I have now is the logins dont work.

I have tried running EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Report', and the
logins appear.
However, when I run EXEC sp_helplogins 'joe', the results are empty.

So, I am guessing all I need is a sp that will re-associate my logins
with the correct db and grant the appropriate permissions.

If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

I have also considered doing a log ship instead of a full backup and
restore. Does anyone have any suggections or good examples of how to
make that happen?

O course, because they are stored in master-->sysxlogins table.
You have only database users in your database, but they are not connected
with logins.

O fourse, becaues sp _helplogins provides information about logins and the
associated users in each database, but they are not exist, right (its not
the same database master)

Use sp_change_users procedure with Auto_Fix option (but be cousious. Why?
See BOL ;)
