Please help with tricky SQL statement....

I am trying to build a SELECT statement that will select records from an "appointment" table. The appointment table looks like this:

DATE     DATE/TIME
TEXT     VARCHAR2

APPTIDS VARCHAR2 APPTIDS contains a comma-seperated list of the user IDs that is involved in the meeting. Example: '1,5,6'. I need a SELECT statement that will return only those rows that contain the ID of the current user (in the APPTIDS field) but, it can also contain the ID of other users).

I need something like:

"SELECT * FROM APPT WHERE #USERID# IN (IDS)" This returns rows that ONLY have the USERID in the APPTIDS field...instead of ones that contain the USERID AND other USERID's.

Thanks for any help!
