Completely guessing because there's no where near enough information, but maybe because the database is recovered and online.

What are you trying to do here and what have you done up until this point

To elaborate on what Gail posted:
To restore a tr log you must first of all restore a full backup without recovering the database - then you can restore tr logs and finally recover to access the database.
Sounds like your previous restore was recovered so you now can't add further logs.

Have a look at restore in bol.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
