Hello Open Dental,
How can I get a notice on which patient account number is merged and which patient accounts are not merged. I can get archived from Patient Status. But in Open Dental Archived and merged are separate.

Good morning,

You can find general information on the Merge Patient Tool here. It states:

After the merge is successfully completed:

The status of the Patient to merge from will change to Archived. The patient can still be accessed via the Select Patient window by selecting Show Archived/Deceased/Hidden Clinics and Show Merged Patients. The merged patient will only show in the Family Module or Account Module when the merged patient is selected.

If you find a patient you think may be merged, you can query the patientlink table to find the PatNum for the Patient to merge from (patientlink.PatNumFrom).
