I have members who don't remember certain dates, all they remember is the year... such as a baptism, the will remember what year it is, but not the actual date. How do I enter that in the member's record, it will not let me enter 00/00/1960, if I try I get invalid number.

You can use any date you want, but you have to enter a valid date of some kind. I use 01/01/yyyy, you can use 12/31/yyyy just as long as you're consistant :)
