thanks for your reply

Ive notice the !, works a treat, thanks but im now trying to combine 2 find options and its not working? help please

Code:
find . ! -user AAA ! -group BBB > /output.txt

it don't appear to run the second command for find?

Ive tried

Code:
find . ! -user AAA ; find . ! -group BBB> /output.txt

when just running the find command with one option it runs correctly for group and user options, however when i try to run the find command with two options if doesn't report correctly, both didn't report errors! i need the find command to search both parameters, if that makes sense?

thanks in advance
