GIS crashes when I try to use Kriging/CoKriging

AnamariaSarmiento

I am an intern at a Miami company and they gave me a GIS project and I am going crazy. Hopefully you can help me.
I am using the ???Geostatistical Analyst??? tool to interpolate the water table in the Miami Dade County. I am able to use all the techniques in the Geostatistical Analyst (IDW, Global Polynomial Interpolation, Local Polynomial, and Radial Basis) but not the ???Kriging/CoKriging???. Every time I try that particular one, my GIS crashes and a screen comes up that says: ???ArcGIS Desktop has encountered a serious application error and is unable to continue???.
I would appreciate if you could help me.
They gave me a shapefile with Miami Dade Pump Stations. They do not record water level, so they wanted me to find USGS wells close to the pump stations and download the water level for each. I did that already. I downloaded a gis map with all the usgs monitoring stations. I selected by attribute the ones from miami dade. And i joined that layer with my excel document. It lets me do all the interpolations methods except the "kriging/cokriging" and i dont understand why...
Have you heard about a problem like this before? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you.

- What version of ArcGIS are you using and have you applied the latest Service Pack for that version?
- what happens if you persist the join, i.e. use CopyFeatures?
- can you share the data (email it to slynch@esri.com)?

Steve, I used the "Copy Features" tool just like you told me and created a new feature class. This means that there is no join anymore in the new class and now kriging/cokriging works!!
Thank you so much!

Sounds like a bug in need of fixing... good the workaround Steve suggested worked for you.
