I create my initial file using the richviewedit and I save the html to sql with
rvespImageFileName,and savehtmlEx using the rvsoOrverrideimages and rvsouseItemImagefileNames.
Like:
RveSDS.SaveHTMLEx('C:\'+ dmcat.adoQCat_dataNumber.AsString+'.txt',
dmcat.adoQMSDSNumber.AsString,'','','','',[rvsoOverrideImages, rvsoUseItemImageFileNames]);
This works perfectly.
then I try to reload the HTML back into a richviewedit using
HTMLViewer1.LoadFromString(dmcat.adoQMSDSSdsHTML.asstring);
RVHtmlViewImporter1.ImportHtmlViewer(HTMLViewer1,RveSDS);
NormalizeRichView(RveSDS.RVdata);
RveSDS.Format;
this works perfectly.
But when I make a change to the richviewedit and repeat the above first step, it changes my picture locations, how can I preserve the original file locations?

Hmm. TrvHtmlViewImporter always retains the location of the pictures.
Can you create a simple project (without a database) reproducing the problem? Send it to richviewgmailcom.

That would be much to difficult, but I did find a solution that will work, it is based on where I run the exe from. I do however have another issue that maybe you can help with. upon using the following
HTMLViewer1.LoadFromString(dmcat.adoQMSDSSdsHTML.asstring); //works perfect
RVHtmlViewImporter1.ImportHtmlViewer(HTMLViewer1,RveSDS);
NormalizeRichView(RveSDS.RVdata);
RveSDS.Format;
It seems that it adds new duplicate styles to the style sheet and loses the paragraph style for my tables. where can I adjust so that it only uses the styles from the style sheet and doesn't lose the formatting on the tables?

rvHtmlViewImporter always adds a new style if it cannot find the desired existing style. If it does it wrong, I need an example reproducing this problem.

I have both of the richviewedits hooked to the same style and no matter what settings I use it always recreates the styles, it never reuses and existing style.

doesn't seem to matter of the rvHtmlImporter1.rtfreadproperties.

I just tried a simple test with loading a simple HTML containing a table.
Initially, RVStyle1.TextStyles.Count=6
After loading HTML, RVStyle1.TextStyles.Count=7 (one style is added).
After the second loading of the same HTML, RVStyle1.TextStyles.Count=7 (no styles are added, the existing style is reused).
So TrvHtmlViewImporter works as expected.

In your CSS, I really can see duplicate styles (rvts0 = rvts10, rvts6=rvts11, rvts5=rvts13). Are you sure that duplicate styles were added as a result of HTML import? In this case, I need a simple compilable project to reproduce this problem.

I can view the html created upon savehtmlex, which i convert to be stored in SQl, then I reload it via the
HTMLViewer1.LoadFromString(dmcat.adoQMSDSSdsHTML.asstring); //works perfect
RVHtmlViewImporter1.ImportHtmlViewer(HTMLViewer1,RveSDS);
then i resave using savehtmlex and the extra styles are there.

I need a sample project reproducing this problem, preferably working with files instead of a database.
As I said, I cannot reproduce this problem myself.
