returning a formated string

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm making a function that returns a formated String.
my best attempt is shown but it does not work.

I think it does not expand out the "args" when it is passed in.
is there a way to make CString::Format expand out the Arguments List?

p.s. if I should be using sprintf or something else like that, let me know also.

my DevEnv is MS VC++ 6

CString GetFormatedString(LPCTSTR fmt,...)
{
  va_list args;
  CString msg;

  va_start(args, fmt);
  msg.Format(fmt, args);
  va_end(args);
  return msg;
}

cheers and thanks
.
