Okay, perhaps I misunderstood the original request.  I thought you
wanted a list of all the customers, not a list of all the transactions.
If you want a list of all the transactions then when not just run an
Account Report of your A/R account after limiting it to the required
time frame:

  * Open A/R Account
  * View -> Filter By -> Date
  * Reports -> Account Report

That will give you a list of all transactions in the time frame, and
within that list it should tell you all the customers that had
transactions within the period.

Maybe I just still don't understand exactly what you are looking for?
