I’m doing file-append and imported an object, but when I try to do something like change the texture, I get that error message. I’m using append, not link. Thanks

It sounds an awful lot like you’re linking. Which version of Blender are you using?
One thing you can try is to select the troublesome object and press L->Selected Objects and Data. That will take your object (which seems to be linked) and make it local to your .blend file.
I believe I have 2.49b, I just got the stable version from the blender website
Maybe it is a version issue, is there a later version of blender you would recommend?
When appending, make sure that the Append (not Link) button is enabled in the Blender File Browser.
Also, did you try my solution of pressing L->Selected Objects and Data?
