Hi Fernando,
I checked mine and very slightly different, hope helps :

Edit File Type: Action: open

Pressed Edit Button:
Action: open
Application: "C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\vfp8.exe" -SHELLOPEN "%1"

Use DDE: Checked

DDE Message: Open("%1")
Topic: System

Probably quotes around %1 is making a difference.
