I assume that may because of your query, is your parameter userName a string? you may need to put a single quote for a string, also give a space in between "FROM" and the table name

Dim dataAdapter1 As New SqlDataAdapter( _
            New SqlCommand("SELECT subject, info, username, status FROM [problems] WHERE (username ='" & userName & "')", con))

the problem is in your SQL statement

It should be:

SELECT subject, info, username, status FROM [problems] ....
