To John Gilliver, There are two settings you can have in BK for dates. With one you can allow your input to be in a series of numbers or underscores and what you say is correct for that. It has to be in that format or it gets confused. The other option is to use your own formatting and then just a year on its own is OK. Year on its own is fine e.g. 1948 (or 197_ this meaning some year in the 1970's). You can also record for instance wedding anniversaries without the year stated by entering 6-Mar-____ for the 6th of March in an unknown year so the system is quite flexible.
