The message error gives an incorrect syntax near SELECT Someone could help me? Thank you

I'm writing this query on SQL expressions editor.

I used the same syntax that I've used at database level.

So... If I've a table named customer and a field named name, It's correct something like that?:

SELECT name FROM customer

Or I've to try with:

SELECT 'name' FROM 'customer'

or

SELECT 'customer'.'name' FROM 'customer' ?

thank you

Where are you writing this query? If you are writing it at the database level or within a Crystal command you don't need any quotes. the syntax crystal spits out only uses single quotes. Have you tried that? If you are still having problems, post the actual sql which is raising the error.
