Hi Anaïs,

Yes, "Snap point to layer" calculates the distance of each point from
the closest line. If this distance is within a tolerance, the point is
snapped to line, otherwise not.

The error is probably due to the fact that both layers contain a field
with the same name (ID). For instance, rename the ID field of point
layer as IDP and retry. It should work now.

Don't worry! My English is not perfect too! :)
