I'm pretty sure that Ctrl+G works in VS2003 and VS2005.

I am only going back to version 2008 for this series. I keep having to remind folks of that, not sure why...

Jepoy,

No special setup is required. It should work. You might check to see if CTRL + G is mapped to the correct command.

Elena,

It still works fine in 2005, 2008, and 2010. I just tested 2010 again to make sure and CTRL + G brings up the Go To dialog. If it is not working I would definitely make sure CTRL + G is mapped to the Edit.GoTo command in Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard.
