Adding task scheduled by end date to a project scheduled by start

[Peter Rooney]

I know this might be a daft question, but is it possible.
I have a programme plan - that is a Project plan that contains lots of sub
projects.
It was created by my predecessor and was (I presume) scheduled by Start Date.

I want to change one of the sub projects so that I specify an end date for
the last task, and it works backwards to tell me the latest date I can start
the project to achieve the desired end date.

Is this possible?

Will this question generate more abuse than my tiny ego can handle?

JoAnn,

You're absolutely correct - I must have clicked the wrong shortcut from
favourites and never even noticed.
Thanks for your assistance!
