I am creating a database called Meet_a_Geek at MS DOS prompt. The customer table has 
about 30 fields..no time counting..but I noticed that I cannot go beyond 9 fields 
without ending with a semicolon. Also another problem crops up when I tried to 
recreate the customer table with the remaining fields yet to be created. The error 
message says "Customer Table existed". 

Is there a windows program that I can input all at once with ease? I know more 
questions are keeping coming in...Please just refer me to good tutorial sites so I can 
continue and finish this assignment.

You may take a glance at my assignment below from cut and paste with dos editor.
