Hi,

Have you checked if Gaussian freezes the same orbitals in the correlated
calculations as Molpro does?

Best wishes,

Tatiana

I have used the finite-difference approach, as stated in the manual, but my value of 0.004 D is about a factor of ten different from the GAUSSIAN determined value of 0.05 D. I have notice similar differences when I compare them against results from the program PSI. What am I doing wrong?
