How do I get the date acquired field on the 1099-B to accept "Various" in the date field?

I imported the form and therefore do not have access to edit the actual form to perform the drop-down entry that other posters have recommended.  Turbo Tax Premier is telling me to physically enter a date in the Date Acquired box.
