If I type a filename.MDB (an msaccess file) on the command prompt it opens, but if I run it as the main arg to runqq it won't know what to do with it.
How is it that the command prompt knows to pass mdb files to msaccess but the "equivalent" shell invocation by runqq will not?

RUNQQ isn't a shell. It's a wrapper around CreateProcess, which allows an argument string, but there's no shell involved. You want ShellExecute instead.
