Just tried myself and get the same as you. :-(

Not ideal I know, but another option would be to have a macro redo the
borders the way you want them. You can tie it to the following event and it
should run anytime you refresh your table:-

Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Your_Code
End Sub

Is there a way to suppress the borders automatically coming up whenever
a
pivot table is refreshed. I have used both tabular and outline format.
But
whenever I refresh the table a default set of borders automatically
appear. I
have turned on the preserve formatting in the Table options. Any ideas.
