I just query the registry :)

   'Get Access location
        dwRetVal = RegOpenKeyEx(%HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,PATHNAME$(EXTN,wsFIle),0,%key_query_value,hkey)
        dwRetVal = regqueryvalueex(hkey,"",0,%reg_sz,wszRetStr,256)
        dwRetVal = regclosekey(hkey)
        dwRetVal = RegOpenKeyEx(%HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,wszRetStr & "\SHELL\Open\command" ,0,%key_query_value,hkey)
        dwRetVal = regqueryvalueex(hkey,"",0,%reg_sz,wszRetStr,256)
        dwRetVal = regclosekey(hkey)

wszRetStr now contains something like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" /NOSTARTUP "%1" 
%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
