That error message is telling you (or should be telling you) that you
have no Database Context. ActiveConnection is instantiated via a
database connection context :

http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/interfacecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1sdbc_1_1XConnection.html

so the macro in your form has to create such a context before
ActiveConnection can return any value.

As you don't say whether your form has been made within your ODB file,
or whether it is independent, it is hard to help out much further.
Generally, if the form is created within the ODB file, the connection
context is initiated upon opening the main ODB interface, whereas an
independent form needs to establish the connection context first. If
your form is within the ODB file, then one of the reasons why the
connection context might not be found is because it needs to walk up the
window hierarchy to find the main or parent. As far as I know, this has
always been a weakness of the CurrentComponent method within Base
containers where child form windows do not automatically inherit the
connection context. Andrew has indicated a way of obtaining the
connection context from by walking up the Model hierarchy of the
Database container.
