Creating First Database

[Shannon Gallagher]

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I created a new database with no trouble.
Each time I tried to create a table, I kept getting the 1064 error code. I used the wizard to enter my tables but now I am getting the same error code when I try to insert data into my tables.

I tried may different ways to enter the tables and data but the red X never goes away.
Here is my latest example:

INSERT INTO employees (emp_id, employee_rate, employee_name)
VALUES (001, 15.00, Shannon);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
