Member status history isn't stored explicitly. The only way I can 
think of to find the number of current members for a given month is 
to search for dues payments between that month and a year previous. 
For example, to find the number of members in July 2001, search in 
the payments file for payments with Payment For = "Dues" AND Post 
Date = 8/1/2000...7/31/2001.

It would be pretty complicated to display comparative numbers in the 
same report, but very easy to do this search for each period of time 
desired and include the numbers in a written report.
