Roy,
>The 2nd problem is when I click the delete button to delete a record. The confirmation dialog is entirely void of text. I do not know what to do to get the text to appear.
It sounds like something has gone awry with .NET in general on your machine. I recommend launching a simple MessageBox form to see if there is any text in the dialog.
