Just out of curiosity, i see a couple of things not right. you have

mysql = "SELECT * DELETE FROM customer WHERE account_number ="""

I would think you would want that line to look like

mysql = "DELETE FROM customer WHERE account_number = '" & account_number & "'"

This sql statement is saying "DELETE FROM <table_name> WHERE <field_name> = <criteria>"

Hope this helps, this is just the obvious thing that i can see with your code without running it on my end to test and alas, i am not running mysql in my windows environment.
