3 people flopping a flush

Does anybody know the odds on three people flopping a flush? (I'm sparing you the grotesque details of losing with a K high flush in the BB in an unraised pot)

Given that 3 people all hold 2 cards of the same suit, the odds of them flopping a flush are C(7,3)/C(46,3)=0.23%

Thanks! I came up with 210/117,600 but was not sure that was all there was to the problem---do you know of any good books that are simple enough to explain your way of showing the answer?
