Chris, List,

thanks for your reply. Our reseller found out, the access is nearly the 
same, they pointed us to
this:

http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6&mkt=somekey


Which is exactly the same, the in OL included "mapcontrol.js" does. As 
long as I use "URL?v=3" or "URL?v=4" which
means older versions of VE, OL works. When I try v=5 or v=6 I get an 
error pointing to "Msn.VE.Pixel".
I guess they result from a changing in the objectmodel of MS VE.

Does anyone ever used the newer versions of VE OR has anybody a clue 
about how much adapting is needed,
to re-write the VE-access for OL to newer versions of MS VE?

I know the second is a question nobody really wants/is able to reply
Regards, Till
