Thanks for the help but I think you misunderstood me. I want to copy only
the values, so I used the "xlPasteValues". This didn't copy the borders and
that's what I wanted. But now the grid lines around the destination cells
are gone. Not the borders but the normal sheet grid lines. Thanks again.

Because you told Excel not to. (xlPasteValues) use xlPasteAll to get
the borders.

I am copying a series of cells in a For loop and pasting them somewhere
else. The destination cells have the normal grid lines and no borders.
The
source cells have borders around each cell. I am using the following
code:
j.Copy
Dest.Offset(cc).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

After pasting, the destination cells have no grid lines. Why? And how
do I
get the grid lines back? Thanks for your time. Otto

have a PC. Could this be a factor?
