This means that your database does not have categories set up properly.
Setting up categories can be automatic (if you are using QP2 plugin
or TC2K plugin) or (in case of free sources) it is manual.
To learn what categories are and how you can modify them please check this
part of the users guide:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_categories.html
To help setting up the database with free sources I have created
the template database that has all categories already set up:
