Option I
=====================================
1. Backup your data
2. Write a VBA script that will:
   2a. set the sheet you need as active
   2b. export the file in a CSV format (only the current sheet will be exported)
3. Cycle through your files calling the procedure in #2
4. Import the resulted CSV files in Stata and append

Option II
=====================================
1. Backup your data
2. Save everything as XML
3. Use -xmluse- in Stata, which provides options doctype(excel) and
sheet("sheetname")
4. Save and append (#3 and #4 in cycle)

Best regards,
