26 - Error Locating Server - VB Express to SQL 2005 Express

I have vb and sql server express 2005 installed locally. I cannot add
a data connection in vb express. I keep getting the error "An error
has occured while establishing......26 - Error Locating Server/Instance
Specified." I am able to go to Visual Web Developer Express and
connect to the database with no problem. I can also create an ODBC
connection with no problems. But in VB express, nothing but trouble.

Everything is local, not trying to remotely connect. I am using
windows authentication. I also used mixed mode and it works fine with
Web Developer and ODBC. The only thing I can see is that in Web
Developer the Data Source option "MS SQL Server" works, but "MS SQL
Server Database File" does not.

In VB, the only Data Source options are "MS SQL Server Database File"
and "MS Access Database".

Can somebody help or lead me in the right direction?

Thank-you
