You may reconize me and I still cant get the database to work correctly.  I am now using the SQL Express manager to create the database and it is attached.  I have given everyone (on both the DB and the folders) full authority for everything.  I still cant get it working.  What am I missing?  here is the web.config.  As far as the error, same error can not connect to DB.

<connectionStrings>
        <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=TREY-LICENSE\SQLEXPRESS;Database=DNN;uid=DNNUser;pwd=DotNetNuke2;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 
    </connectionStrings>
    <appSettings>
        <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=TREY-LICENSE\SQLEXPRESS;Database=DNN;uid=DNNUser;pwd=DotNetNuke2;"/>
 
        <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config"/>
        <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true"/>
        <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true"/>
        <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false"/>
        <add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false"/>
        <add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>
        <add key="HostHeader" value=""/><!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
        <add key="RemoveAngleBrackets" value="false"/><!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->
        <add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="0"/><!--use as persistent cookie expiration. Value is in minutes, and only active if a non-zero figure-->
    </appSettings>

 Your connection strings appear to be correct. Are you able to connect to the database with SQL Server Management Studio Express using SQL Server Authentication (with userid and password) or only using Windows Authentication?  If you can connect with Windows Authentication but not with SQL Server Authentication, is is likely that the database/SQL Server Express instance is set up for Windows Authentication only and not mixed mode authentication (both SQL Server Authentication and Windows Authentication).

What is the best way to check to see if I can switch the auth. settings?  Test connect?  I didnt see the option in express manager.  I have to try to solve this issue ASAP, I have to get it a web site moved ( I want to know how to solve the issue first tho)

In SQL Server Management Studio Express, there should be a drop-down list box in the connect dialog to select connecting by either Windows Authentication or SQL Authentication.  In the latter case, text boxes will be available for entry of userid and password.  I'm using the November CTP of SSMSE. The current release version is available for download as a toolkit at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3c856b93-369f-4c6f-9357-c35384179543&DisplayLang=en

If you find that you cannot connect by SQL Authentication and can't find how to change to mixed mode authentication, I can walk you through the change using SSMSE.
