Nope. You should read the documentation for the force field - probably 
the original published manuscript - and see how the others were 
developed, and try to do something consistent. There's no reason to 
expect a correlation between charges calculated with an arbitrary QM 
method and the partial charge *optimized parameters* used in an 
arbitrary MM force field.
