Add us to the list of disgruntled users.  There are important reminders in my to do list.  I've come to rely on these for tasks that are to be performed at infrequent intervals.  I've missed deadline for important filings.  An SQL server is necessary for several processes and QuickBooks should realize that and prioritize a solution for this issue.  As others have said, it's been WAY to long waiting on a fix for this bug in your software.
