select query question

hi i have a select query i need to do on a field in my table.. the field is called Flags and there is 1 char for every flag that is set for a certain group.. the flags are F S L C G R now what i want to do is search for every instance of Flags field that has any value except L and C in it and select those fields.. so the result would be every record that doesnt have L and C in the Flags field would be selected.. dont know how to do this query i thought it might be something like this: mysql_query("select * from members where Flags not like '%l%c%'"); but not really sure.. i know to use the not like statement but its just figuring out what search pattern to use... tnx --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
