Hello Everybody

CHK file is binary file and not for communication between different computer. So, please first transfer the CHK file to .fchk using the formchk command and then you can open the .fchk file with Gaussview on any computer.

Dear pwzhou,
Thank you for your reply, but, is the file .fchk has the same property as .chk file ? I mean that all the informations in .chk file still the same in the .fchk file.

Strictly speaking, .fchk file doesn't contain all informations recorded in the .chk file. During converting to .fchk by formchk, some unimportant information in .chk will be lost.
