I tried the suggestion above still getting similar error.  Question: Why is there a Data Base User Name/Password and an Admin Username/Password.  How do I set them in the newly created database?

Here's what I did, in the SQL manager, I changed the authentication to mixed mode and then restarted the SQL service.  Now I just get a "login" failed for user xxxxx.   Question 2: Why does the db have to be placed into the APPDATA folder?

Also, one other note, the install.aspx page has both a user/password and an admin/password field, why both?

I downloaded PunBB, and installed it into a new website using Microsoft Web Developer Express.
I set the startup page to be index.aspx.
I then created a new database using SQL Express 2005, and put that database into the APPData Folder.

When I compile and start the project everything runs fine.  I see the Install page and cannot get it to locate the Database.

I named the database Punbb, and it is attached to the SQL Express 2005 instance.  When I open the SQL manager I can see the database with no problem. 

But everytime I attempt to get the INDEX.ASPX page I get these errors:

Can not connect to DB.ERROR [28000] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'xxxxxx'.
The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
ERROR [28000] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'xxxxx'.
The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection


So why can I sign in with SQL manager but not the install.aspx page?

The database must have been created using a trusted connection which uses my Windows userid/password.

BTW I'm no expert at creating database's with proper authorities, I must have not created it correctly but don't know what to do.  Any help is much appreaciated.
