Actually, for VB Express 2005, only SQL Server 2005 will work with it. This is documented in the Express Edition Readme:

1.3.13 SQL Server Express is the only version of SQL Server that will work with Express Editions other than Visual Web Developer Express Edition.

SQL Server Express is the only version of SQL Server that will work with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, Visual C# 2005 Express Edition, and Visual J# 2005 Express Edition.

To resolve this issue

If you did not specify SQL Server Express when you installed your Express Edition, you can install it by using Add or Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.

The full Readme can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/readme/
