your SQL query needs to have single quotes around the value that you want to compare like this:

SELECT *
FROM Client_Registration
WHERE Enquiry_Type = 'Sales'
ORDER BY F_name

otherwise, the statement will try to find a field called 'sales' which does not exists in the table, and so will bring up an error message.
