Default Error message when opening a .doc file using excel macro

Morning,
I have created a macro in excel that when the user clicks a "done" button a
word document is opened from a shared drive.
this is what i have so far:

------------------------------------
Dim x As String
Dim wordApp As Object

ThisWorkbook.Save

x = Range("A156")

Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wordApp.Documents.Open "\\Flcscsrv02\share\Mercury Transactions\Test Docs\
" & x & "\Test word document.doc"
------------------------------------

when i run the macro the first time, nothing happens. when i run it a second
time, i get the "File in Use" pop up.

Where am i going wrong here?
