That will only keep you from editing those reconciled transactions
without receiving a warning. (that is, you *can* still edit them, they
are not 'locked' but you will get a warning about editing a reconciled
transaction, which you can override, and also, dismiss the warning,
which means you won't see it next time you try editing a reconciled
transaction)
There is a read-only threshold, under File > Preferences but it is
quite limited as it is a sliding-window by number of previous days. So
you'd have to change it each and every day as the year went on. And
that applies to all accounts, not just some.
An alternative is to create an archive folder with a copy of the book,
and possibly the annual reports in PDF form. That way if you ever
needed to go back to see if you inadvertently edited something, you'd
have a backup at that state to verify changes. Having a good backup
strategy helps too.
You can also make accounts placeholders which prevents *new*
transactions from being entered, but that doesn't stop you from
editing previous transactions.
Otherwise, no, you can't lock accounts from editing.

Adrien
