I had a similar situation, and the error was that some om my pictures had wrong names. Also be aware that FILE() is not safe since it will sometimes ignore the hardcoded path, and search the VFP path if the file is not in the hardcoded directory. ADIR() on the other hand is 100% safe.
Try to Browse your table

Use yourtable
Browse field x=recno(), empid, picture=ADir(dummy,"C:\MyData\IMAGES\"+ALLTRIM(empid)+".jpg")>1

Where picture shows .F. you have a problem.
