Why would you need to do selects inside scan? And why do you have so many public variables? We just discussed it on the other forum...

Sorry this is from the first glance, instead of messageboxes you may add
filetostr('Started Scan', 'Monitor.txt',1)
filetostr('Run ' + transform(m.lnI) + ' Select statement'', 'Monitor.txt',1)

etc. to see what you're doing.

BTW, why do you declare PUBLIC variable inside SCAN? Read your code carefully and make changes.
