NOT LIKE excludes desired records plus records with NULL in the field

1
Hi,

Using this condition: AND instructions NOT LIKE '%RESUBMIT%'

I successfully exclude records where the 'instructions' field contains the word 'RESUBMIT' but it also excludes records where the 'instructions' field contains NULL. Why and how can I get around this?

Thank you.
