VBA to open .bat file

Is there a way to use VBA code to open a .bat file?

The file path leads onto the m drive. Should I change it to "cmd.exe/m" instead? This doesn't execute it either, but it is opening the command window permanently.

Sub Belfry()
    x = Shell("cmd.exe /c M:\My Folder\Karen Postiglioni\JP\CSV Files\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 22.0\cliq_process\Update_Test_FNMA.bat", 1)
End Sub

End Sub

This is the error that I'm getting from the command line:

'

\\DTSDC02\Dignified\jsick\My Documents'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.

It is quickly opening and closing the command window but it does not seem to be executing the bat file. When I double click it, it works fine. Any more ideas?

Actually the code needed was much simpler. For some reason this works:

shell "M\whatever\path\youwant\FILENAME.bat"
