New history report feature.

I am changing the history report. In the past you could only get a report stretching back from today to a chosen number of months. For example if you wanted to do a report from today to 3 months back it would tell you your merchandise sales history from Dec 1, 2012 to Feb 20, 2013 (today). NOTE: History data is saved only for the last year, after that new data writes over the old data. For example on the first day of May when you open the register the program will erase all sales data for May of last year to allow the merchandise sales data for May of this year to be written there.
But what if you wanted a specific month total? Then on the last day of the month you would have to do a history report on the last day of the month and set 1 month back. If you missed doing it on the last day of the month then you were out of luck. Plus if you wanted a report for any time period that did not end on the day you were doing the report then you were screwed.
So I am changing the program to allow you to pick a any particular month for a start and / or end of the report. Since the data in the program is saved by month only full months can be reported with the exception of the current month. So if you set the start month to NOV and the end month to NOV then you would get a report containing only the full month of November.
So I have this little program I want you to test at http://keyhut.com/fileyear.exe It is only the interface and does not actually do anything. I would like you to run the program and see if you can figure out how to pick the start month and end month and if anything is confusing to you.
Report back here.
