When I change the background color of a cell in a table, the color covers the borders, however I want the horizontal lines to remain.
I have a simple command \cellcolor[gray]{0.9} in my table. Can anybody help me with this problem?

Please always provide a complete small example that demonstrates the problem. If the lines are from \hline then it is not supposed to happen. If they are from \cline then that is amdocumented feature and the colortbl documentation suggests that you try \hhline instead. With the amount of information in the question, it is impossible to say.

Thank you for your answer I had used \cline as below code, and replacing \hhline solved my problem. \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ccc} \hline 1 &2 &\cellcolor[gray]{0.9}3 \cline{2-3} \hline 4 &5 &\cellcolor[gray]{0.9}6 \end{tabular} \end{table} – Nargess Oct 10 '12 at 13:36

This could just be a PDF display "error". This is what happened to me. I thought the cell outlines were covered, but if you zoom in on your PDF or actually print the document, the original cell outlines are there!

The package nicematrix (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/nicematrix) has tools which have been designed to solve that kind of problem. With the tools of nicematrix, the rules won't seem to disappear, whatever PDF viewer and level of zoom you use.
