Hello,

I have a table with many queries and
I don't want the data to be edited in the query and change in the table I would like that information to be locked so it cant be edited but I need the end of the table to be able to be edited but not the first couple of columns.

Is there ways to lock the tables or individual columns

    No.

    Users should never be accessing tables and queries. Setup a form for this. You can have a continuous form as read-only displaying your data, and a separate form to allow data entry.
