When executing the below subroutine, excel will briefly flicker, screen turns black.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks!

VBA Code:
Sub SheetAsPDF()
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = ActiveSheet
    Dim fileName As String
    
    fileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & ws.Name & " " & Format(Date, "mm-yyyy") & ".pdf"
      ws.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, fileName:=fileName, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
      IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    MsgBox "Document saved successfully!", vbInformation
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Remove the two application.screenupdating lines.

Remove the two application.screenupdating lines.
Commented all the application objects one at the time to test.
This had no effect and the screen continues to flicker when executing the subroutine.

I can’t see anything there that should cause that. How are you running it?

No event triggers, run command in the vb editor.
Will be assigning to a command button when I get it figured out.

Thanks
