regular expression - no digits

Hello,
I am a novice to regularexpressions and trying to build a regex
for a string that consists of alphabets, special characters but no
digits.

Regex("^([a-zA-Z]!@#$%^&*?).{8,20}$") Does not seem to work for some
reason.
Could anyone help, pls.

Sam.

This should return anything but strings with digits:
^[^\d]*$
