\DIR\File.pdf isn't a complete reference to a file. You need either a drive
letter, or a \\server\share in front of that.
If you're trying to get to a subfolder of the folder the database is in,
try:
Application.FollowHyperlink CurrentProject.Path & "\DIR\File.pdf"
(Realistically, I'm surprised it worked in Access 97: you should have been
using FollowHyperlink there as well: Shell is only intended for executables)
