constraints and links

I want to set a constraint that allows a task of specified duration to have a
flexible start date, but finish not later than another specified task
finishes. How do I use constraint type and linking between the two tasks to
achieve this outcome?

In other words, these two tasks run in parallel, but finish on or by the
same date, with the finish date driven by one of the tasks (i.e. can shift if
the controlling task finish date shifts).

In MS Project 2003 or MS Project 2007 beta.

Hi,

All you need is a finish to finish link from tke task that "drives" to the
task that cannot "finish later than the other one". No constraint is needed
since you say the start is flexible.
