Hello all,
I have an issue when running the Sample tool (Spatial Analyst Tools).
I have added below the contents of the error message so you can have a look.
The very strange thing is that the tool runs and does not run into any issue if I tick the "Generate Feature Class" box. I would like to understand what is happening and why do I get an error if I want to get it directly as an output table.
Any help will be much appreciated,
Cheers

your output seems to be to a folder, so try test.dbf if you want a dbase table, or specify the output to a geodatabase to see what happens.
Had the same issue and just figured out the reason: it is related to the attribute table of the target shapefile.
This could be:
1. The shapefile attribute table might contain values that conflict with the code behind the sampling tools.
2. The attribute table is too big, causing memory issues.
To solve this issue, a possible way is to create a copied shapefile with fewer attribute table columns before sampling. Then join back the result to the original shapefile.
A file geodatabase table and its associated table would surmount the issues you have identified.
