Default Setting a date/time field to 'NULL'

I have several date/time fields on a custom form (all tied to user-defined
fields). I would like the field to display nothing when a new item is
created. Currently, the default values for the TEXT and VALUE properties when
I added the fields was 'NONE' which displays when a new item is created. If I
delete the value or change it to a non-date/time (eg a zero-length string or
''), I get an error message indicating that a date/time must be selected.

What value should I enter in the TEXT/VALUE properties so that nothing is
displayed in the fields when a new item is created using the form?

#1/1/4501# is the date that Outlook stores when the user sees "None." Displaying nothing at all is not an option.
