I believe that when you have a string with spaces wrapped in quotes behind the "start" command "start" wants to interpret the first set of quotes as a title for the window. Therefore you need something along these lines:

Code:

shell '%COMSPEC% /c start /max " " "c:\program files\microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" c:\myfile\whatever.mdb'


I'm not familiar with the other parameters being passed, but you should get the idea from the example above.
