Peach tree 5 Crash and corrupt Lost files

SOLVED

My father in law passed and i am trying to settle accounts in his peach tree 5. I was directed here by customer support. It opens saying corrupt and update. I click ok and it opens fine. It seems to crash often. Today i was working on 2020 accounts and it crashed. Now I can only access up to 2014. I need help getting the files back up. Please if anyone can help it would make things easier on us. My husband said he backed it up a few days ago but the files show 2014 when you scroll over them with an update of this month. I'm scared to click on anything else.

    I would recommend creating a new company (File menu > New Company) and then restore (File menu > Restore) the backup from a few days ago over the new company. When creating the new company, don't bother entering anything other than the company name because it will all get replaced when you restore the backup. After you restore the backup, go the Maintain menu, choose Company Information, and change the company name in some way so you can tell it apart from the original, for example just add NEW to the beginning of the name.
