If you don't specify a type the Object type is assumed, and Object doesn't have a Name property.

For Each ctrl [COLOR="Green"]As Control[/COLOR] In Me.Controls

You can also do this:

Me.Controls("btnnewgame").Enabled = x

What JohnH says is correct but it actually doesn't apply here, given that you have declared the 'ctrl' variable as type Control. This is evidenced by the fact that the error message refers to the Control type. Are you absolutely sure that that's what the error says because that's obviously false, i.e. Name IS a member of System.Windows.Forms.Control.

Also, your test for the control being a Button is pointless. Are you actually going to have a control of any other type with that name? If the name is uniquely identifying then why test anything else?
