    Locking a memory address / process..

    Is there a way to lock a memory address, so that a program can't write to it?

    Yes, there is. One way is to use critical sections. These are meant to protect blocks of code or data.

    InitializeCriticalSection()
    EnterCriticalSection()
    LeaveCriticalSection()
    DeleteCriticalSection()

    I think it's possible in VB, but I've only implemented it in C.

    You can read and see examples.
