In QGIS Wien, I am performing a spatial query with two layers (points and buffer areas) and receive the following error when creating a new layer with intersecting features: The query from "LayerName" using "FID" in field not possible.

Spatial query settings:
- where the feature: intersects
- and use the result to: create new selection

In the same file, I have performed the same spatial query with other layers (points and buffer areas) without running into this problem. 

How should I go about fixing the error? Thank you for your help
