I have the following table with an arrow showing the missing black horizontal black line:

enter image description here

Here is the relevant code, I am wondering how do I get a black horizontal line where there is one missing?

\MyNumtwo{15.24}\\ 
\hline
\multicolumn{14}{|>{\columncolor[gray]{.8}}c|}{\textbf{$A\times{}B\pm{}C$} Program} \\ 
\hline
\textbf{Number of Incidents} & 
512 &

NOTE: I just realized that if you zoom in, the line is actually there. But this is still potentially be a problem if someone is reading the PDF and doesn't see the line on their computer. The line appears on the printout, but it appears to be ~1 pixel thinner than other horizontal lines.

If anyone knows a fix, please let me know.

Update: Here is my code:

\usepackage{graphicx}  
\graphicspath{/./}                  
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{pgf}
\usepackage{xcolor,colortbl}
\usepackage{subfigure} 
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{array}

    Could you provide a more detailed minimal working example (MWE) that can be cut and pasted into an empty document so people can look at the problem and try things out? http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-asked-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that?rq=1 has some suggestions that you might find helpful. – Andy Clifton Aug 10 '13 at 20:37
  • I pasted my code with everything redacted. Hopefully I didn't introduce any bugs. – Veridian Aug 10 '13 at 20:49

    Don't forget that we need the preamble as well. Document classes and the packages you use are important. Cut the example down to the simplest possible document that gives the problem that you want to fix. – Andy Clifton Aug 10 '13 at 21:51
  • Are you sure this is not just some effect from your viewer? Try zooming in (using different zoom ratios) the page with the table to see if the rule really is there (you could also print the page with the table to make sure). – Gonzalo Medina Aug 10 '13 at 22:36
  • @GonzaloMedina, I already addressed what you said, read the question completely please. – Veridian Aug 10 '13 at 23:26
  • I added the packages the document uses. – Veridian Aug 10 '13 at 23:28
  • @sphere ah, sorry. – Gonzalo Medina Aug 10 '13 at 23:42
  • Does this appear in different PDF viewers, or just one (e.g. Acrobat)? COuld you provide some details of viewers you've tested this with? – Andy Clifton Aug 12 '13 at 16:38
  • Appears in Acrobat, most used PDF viewer in the world probably, therefore it needs to work in Acrobat because that is the viewer the people reading this document will almost definitely use. – Veridian Aug 13 '13 at 18:08

Please always post complete documents, not just fragments, if you had added \documentclass{article} to your code and tested it you would have seen that it generated errors:

! Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr.

(twice)

Once that is fixed, the remaining problem is really a failure in acrobat, xpdf does better as may be seen on the left here:

enter image description here

You can however make it easier for acrobat by drawing the rule on top of the grey panel:

\textit{111.1}\\ 
\multicolumn{14}{|>{\columncolor[gray]{.8}}c|}{\textbf{$A\times{}B\pm{}C$} Program} \\
\noalign{\vskip-12pt}
\hline 
\noalign{\vskip12pt}
\hline
\textbf{111 of 111} &

acrobat then does better:
