Accidentally switched my sandisk memory card to 'lock'. Now when I try to use me camera it says 'memory card error' does this mean I have lost all my previous photos?! I have tried switching the switch to back the other direction but it doesn't make any difference. Just been on a wonderful holiday to Europe and would hate to loose all those photos!
Locking the card simply protects it from writes. It does not wipe out anything that was on it already.
If you're asking about a Memory Stick, there's a switch on the back. Slide it away from the "LOCK" position. If you're asking about an SD card, there's a switch on the side. Slide it toward the metal contacts.

Have tried the memory card in another camera and it comes up with the same response...
