Access Exit Problem

My database (Access 2002) is suddenly giving me a problem with a 'Create Table' Query that I created. previously the query used to run fine and I could make changes to it but now everytime I try to run the query in DESIGN mode it just exits the application all together. I tried shutting down my system and rebooting with no luck. Any suggestions?
 
Don't attempt to run DDL (Data Definition Language) queries from Design Mode. Save them and then run them by double clicking. In design mode the query designer attempts to convert a query to something that returns records and that's not possible for a CREATE TABLE query.

Hello Golom... the query is running fine, but it is not allowing me to enter it in design mode to make any modifications. Everytime I try to enter the query in design or SQL view it exits the application. I have no idea what other method to use other than to delete that query and create a new one. Any other suggestions?
