Dim theMessage As String
fullName = FirstNameField.Text + " " + LastNameField.Text
currentAge = today.Year - CDbl (BirthYearField.Text)
theMessage = "Your name is " + fullName + EndOfLine
theMessage = theMessage + “and you will be "
theMessage = theMessage + Str (currentAge)
theMessage = theMessage + " at the end of the year "
theMessage = theMessage + Str (today.Year) +” . "

I see you are not understanding the basic concepts. You should read the docs and check the tutorials.
There is an introductory content HERE
You can check the on-line docs too. http://documentation.xojo.com/

Don’t hesitate to ask things here (Usually General Channel, not Customer Service Channel), but first you must master the basic concepts, good luck and have fun. :wink:
