Enterprise to express ?

I would advice you to check the features supported by enterprise that are not available in express, ie if you have jobs, SSIS (which was DTS in 2000) etc express doesnt support them.

If not, then you can simply backup and restore or attach and detach.

I would say that you should re-think the version that you are migrating too

I agree with Neil,
Express limits your DB memory and storage usage, ... amongst many other things.
