This worked ok for me. But it overwrites the original sheet1. So save your
work before you start.

Close the workbook without saving if it's not right:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim wks1 As Worksheet
Dim wks2 As Worksheet
Dim iRow As Long
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim res As Variant

Set wks1 = Worksheets("sheet1")
Set wks2 = Worksheets("sheet2")

With wks2
FirstRow = 1
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

For iRow = LastRow To FirstRow Step -1
res = Application.Match(.Cells(iRow, "A").Value, _
wks1.Range("a:a"), 0)
If IsError(res) Then
MsgBox "error with row#: " & iRow
Exit Sub
End If

wks1.Cells(res, 2).Insert Shift:=xlToRight
wks1.Cells(res, 2).Value = .Cells(iRow, "B").Value
Next iRow
End With

End Sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

If I have the following table (sheet1):
A 1 2 3 4 5
B 4 5 6 7 8
C 1 9 0 3 7

..and then (sheet2)

A 1
B 1
A 2
C 6
B 2
A 3
..is there a macro or programme I could run which would insert the
values from sheet 2 in order into the rows on sheet one to give:
A 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5
B 1 2 4 5 6 7 8
C 6 1 9 0 3 7

Thanks very much!
