.net mvc2 - change view location from controller

I have 2 urls /Data and /Data/{month}/{day}/{year}.

I've created two routes

   routes.MapRoute(
        "Data_Name",                                   
        "Data",
        new { controller = "Data", action = "DataForAnyDate" }   
    );

    routes.MapRoute(
        "DataFullDate",                                
        "Data/{month}/{day}/{year}",                        
        new { controller = "Data", action = "DataForSpecificDate"}   
    );

when I go to /Data, it all works, and view I see is Views/Data/DataForAnyDate and controller is Data.DataForAnyDate. When I go to /Data/12/29/2009 I want same asp page (same view), but filled with data from specific date, thus I use Data.DataForSpecificDate controller. But issue is that mvc keeps looking for my view in Views/Data/DataForSpecificDate and I want it to look in Views/Data/DataForAnyDate.

Is there a way to tell Data.DataForSpecificDate to go into Views/Data/DataForAnyDateview, or is there some other way to solve this problem?

Thanks

In the DataForSpecificDate method of your DataController, specify the view by ending with Return View("DataForAnyDateview")

Since your controller code is not posted here, I'm making the assumption u might just have Return View(); in which case it would look for a view with the same name as the method.
