When I update my website ...people complain that they cannot see the update
until the refresh on the browser.
Is there a way for those who return to our website to have it auto
refresh...a cookie ?

Whats the solution ?
Looking forward to your replies.

I've had this problem with visitors to a restaurant site I did. the
commonality was all the viewers seeing the old menu were using AOL.
with some help from this ng I did the following that seemed to trick the AOL
cache servers to not save the page:

rename the pages to have cgi in them. i.e. menu.htm became menucgi.htm

add one of those FrontPage "this page was last updated on__" thingies to the
bottom.

the complaints stopped so I guess it worked.

Not sure that did anything
To handle AOL caching see http://webmaster.info.aol.com/caching.html
On non server side pages often just adding a parameter to all pages will break the caching
<a href="page.htm?>The link</a> or
<a href="page.htm?#>The link</a>
