Legacy 7 - converting sources

I have tried converting a few sources using the new source writer, and have come across a problem.
Where I have previously used a website as a source, e.g. FreeBMD (UK birth, marriage and death registrations), I have entered the date accessed under 'date recorded', as there was no other specific place to enter it.
If I create a new source for FreeBMD, using the source writer, I now have a 'date accessed' and a 'date recorded' (which in most cases will be the same!).
If I combine the old and the new sources, I will have several hundred records which do not apparently have a date accessed.
I will have to go through each one individually to give it a 'date accessed'.
Is there an easy solution?
