Having no clue about the specifics here, but what about:

wdGet(filename = "myDoc.doc", path = "c:/mydata")

You are leaving out what "didn't work" means.

What error are you receiving?

Hi:
How can one open an existing word document with wdGet()
I am getting an error message when trying to open it like this: 

wdGet(filename="myDoc.doc",path="c/mydata")

Looking at Tal Galili's website example it appears that double backslashes
are used but i tried it and didn't work either. Thanks
