We investigate the impact of the \Theta^+(1540) resonance on differential and integrated cross sections for the reaction K^+d{\to}K^0pp, where experimental information is available at kaon momenta below 640 MeV/c. The calculation utilizes the J\"ulich KN model and extensions of it that include contributions from a \Theta^+(1540) state with different widths. The evaluation of the reaction K^+d{\to}K^0pp takes into account effects due to the Fermi motion of the nucleons within the deuteron and the final three-body kinematics. We conclude that the available data constrain the width of the \Theta^+(1540) to be less than 1 MeV.
