    What sort of webpart are we talking about here? Depending on the nature of the need you might be able to use the cache settings for some webparts.

    In Microsoft's fabulous 40 templates, there's one called timecard management. After you punch in on a project, the page that is then displayed shows that it refreshes automatically every five minutes. You could dissect this page in SP Designer, and see how they did it...

    I believe on that specific template they're just using a generic "meta refesh" html element to refresh the entire page on a given interval.

    For refreshing just a webpart, this may or may not be an option given that you want it to refresh every 5 seconds instead of the 5 minutes on the template Laura mentioned.

    Which webpart specifically are you trying to refresh, and what kind of a web part is it?

    I have an "IN/OUT" board for one of our department pages, and use a content editor web part with a Meta refresh element for every 30 seconds. As the page is mostly display only, it works great.
