Why does the system close down each time I click on view on any item in the list of changes to opening balance in bank recon?

Welcome to the Community, @rustylmeyer560. I'm with you in getting past this issue. 

QuickBooks Online uses cache and cookies to help loading time faster. However, it can cause unexpected behavior when it's full. It could be that you're experiencing a browser-related issue that's why the system crashes.

To help us identify this problem, let's open QuickBooks using an incognito or private window. Here's how: 

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P

If that works fine, go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. Otherwise, use another supported and up-to-date browsers can help us narrow down the cause of this issue.
