Hi Agamer...
I guess you are looking for constructive critism?
Looks like you have a feel for the basic logic, but you need to optimize more. There is ALOT of redundant code in your program. For instance, you use the same large chunk of code for inputing and showing each month. You could use one small routine that will load any month.
I typed this up, didn't run it because of the image requirement but it shows how duplicate code can be avoided:
Cheers
