Each of these smaller files are known as "chunks". The second chunk in the sequence will have the file extension .chunk002, the third .chunk003 and so on. Whilst there are normally two or more chunks, the File Splitter application allows a small file to produce one chunk. The total number of chunks generated depends on the size of the original file and the size of chunk setting used when File Splitter converted the file to chunks.
The base file name (with the .chunk001 extension removed) is the name of the original file. So for example, "accounts.mdb.chunk001" would be the first chunk generated from the file "accounts.mdb".

Can you add to this? Do you know of any applications not already listed which will work with .chunk001 files, view, or open .chunk001 files? Are you able to contribute any additional reference or file format information about .chunk001 files, or have you spotted any errors or omissions? If so then please let us know by emailing us at feedback@cryer.co.uk. Thank you.
