Try the following steps (under a Windows platform).
1. create a textfile called data.stc with the following lines:
copy data.xls data.dta /y /o
exit
(Note that the /y replaces without asking, in case you need to run it
several times and the /o optimises the storage. Also leave out exit if
you want to watch to see what happens, then manually manually close
the window.)
2. from inside Stata run the following command:
winexec "c:\program files\stattransfer5\st" c:\data\data.stc
(Set your path to stat transfer as appropriate).
