Is it still the SQL Server does not exist error? If so try:
 
strSQLServerName = "NT02\SQLEXPRESS"
 
If that doesn't work try enabling "Named Pipes" (as in http://www.advlaser.net/temp/wiz3.jpg)

Still getting: Error Connecting to database on SQL Server

Enabled Named Pipes protocol and started and stopped SQLEXPRESS. I also switched the sqlserver name.

database_connection.asp looks like
strSQLServerName = "NT02/SQLEXPRESS" 
strSQLDBUserName = "sa_omear" 
strSQLDBPassword = "password" 
strSQLDBName = "webwizforumsomear" 

I'm also making sure when I run msSQL_Server_Setup.asp that I use a different SQL user name there. 

I really appreciate all the help. Thanks! -Marvin

Your backslash is round the wrong way:-

NT02\SQLEXPRESS

If using localhost you may also want to try:-

localhost\SQLEXPRESS

Also although TCP/IP is enabled as in Jono's picture, you should double click the TCP/IP icon and check that you have TCP/IP connections enabled for the IP address you are using. If it is a localhost check that you have 127.0.0.1 enabled for TCP/IP connections.

Wow the backslash did it. I guess what threw me off was the documentation on that line uses a forward slash and that threw me off. Thanks again for all of the help!!!!
