I'm new to Analysis services, and I need some help with what I'm fairly sure
is an easy process.

I've built a cube in analysis services and I would like to have users be
able to drill down to a company name, which at that point would have an
action associated with it, that will redirect users to a webpage, and pass
on the company id, so that the webpage opens up with that company
information.


How do I do this, or does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on this?

Assuming that you're using AS 2005, here's a link to BOL:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175345.aspx

Defining and Configuring an Action

An action is an end user-initiated operation upon a selected cube or
portion of a cube. The operation can start an application with the
selected item as a parameter, or it can retrieve information about the
selected item. For more information about actions, see Actions.
...

You should also refer to the Adventure Works sample cube, which has
multiple actions, including "City Map".
