Complications and DFC and Complications

I've hit some weird roadblock in the DFC creation that really doesn't have anything to do with the programming itself. Between that and my love for magestorm, I've hardly gotten any work done in the last 3 weeks.  I have the database all setup, all the tables and all the fields are in place.  The first night I tried to connect the database to Microsoft Visual Studio, it worked fine.  Since it was getting late, I went to bed.  I go to work on it the next day and it can't connect with the database even though I checked and rechecked the info a dozen times.  I tried reinstalling the connector, that managed to discover the database but other connection issues were cropping up.  So, I went looking for similar situations on the web, found one that was pretty similar, did it, and now for some reason when I open up the options for connecting to the database a single keystroke closes the window, even if it is a paste.  There is nothing I can do to stop it and since there are more than one dialog box that needs information, I'm essentially screwed.  Anyway, next step in the process is to uninstall Visual Studio and reinstall it.  It would be really freaking stupid if something like that ruined my project instead of something substantial like a programming problem or lack of time.

Addendum:  Much of the reason for lack of updates recently has come from working on a review post for DC's "New 52" reboot.  Considering there are 52 titles plus 2 miniseries, thats a lot of work.
