Okay but that would print when you turn grids off for printing?

After rethinking this, I may not need to do that at all. When a cell is
filled, I'm thinking the lines are suppose to match that color. Something I
was not doing before. You can't see or tell the colors of the Cell lines,
therefore, I'm thinking it's not an issue.

Unless anyone else knows better?
thanks

JCO expressed precisely :
I have a Macro that does several things including getting the Cell
Background Fill, store it, do some work, then restore the Cell Background
Fill. However, when doing this, the Cell Gridlines are gone. I
understand I can set the Background Fill to "No Color" to restore this,
but that would defeat the purpose of restoring the color as mentioned
earlier.

Code snip below:
' Change Cell Background Color
'
Dim vCellBackgroundFill As Variant 'store color
Dim vCellBackgroundNoFill As Variant 'store background grid

vCellBackgroundFill = Selection.Interior.Color

' Do other work here

With Selection.Interior
.Color = vCellBackgroundFill 'restore background fill
to original color
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With

Thanks for your help

Gridlines only display when cells have no .Interior.Color! You can,
however, simulate gridlines by giving cells with color a dotted line
border.<g
