When using tables in password protected documents/forms, the table format changes when used by other users on their PC's. Is there a way to "lock" the table so that the format remains intact?

You could open the forms toolbar and make sure the lock is on. However if you want the users to change data in the table you will have to have form fields

Form fields are being used however the table or rows change size when opened on other machines.

What sort of format changes?
The recipient machine should have the same fonts and be pointed towards the same printer as the original.

I have seen these dicrepancies before in Word 6.0

It seems it has to do with the printer driver on the users PC. The best solution is to not croud your table give each row room so that everything will fit.

As a test try making your rows bigger and see if it changes
