I wish I could help you but afraid I can't.  I got so frustrated I asked around for a sql/IIS person.  Found one, and in less than 10 minutes he fixed my problem.  It was as I suspected, a sqlexpress setting problem, something to do with IP.  I gave him $100 bucks and moved on.  It's working great now, but I know that doesn't help you any.  I'm sorry.

When using SQL Express you need to make sure it is installed in mixed mode, by default it has external connections disabled, so best to set it up on the same localhost server as your web site is on.

By default SQL Express installed with the instance name SQLEXPRESS so if installed locally you would use the following to connect to SQL Express:-

localhost/SQLEXPRESS

Note the /SQLEXPRESS part, this is required as the default SQL Express install is installed with this instance name, also when connecting this often needs to be in capitals.
