you mean a texture map?
perhaps when you mapped the file to the colour it mapped itself to colour and transparency
right click the model and go to Material Attributes...
in the attribute editor make sure nothing is plugged into the transparency
if it is then right click on the word transparency and select break connection
as shown in the attached picture
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
