How to merge multiple excel files..?

Hi all, please excuse my new-bee-ness..I have searched far and wide and can not get an answer...

Situation: I have about 80 excel files I have to input into a database for access.
Problem: Instead of loading one file at a time (Access import external data allows only one at a time) I wish to upload one file with all the 80 files in one.
My proposed solution: I was thinking, open each excel workbook, and then move the tab from each of the 80 workbooks into one main workbook (that i will use, ie like a hub)..Then once the main workbook is complete with the 80tabs, I will find a way to move the data from the tabs into one single tab to upload!

Please assist if you know a smarter, faster way to do this...I have do not want to do this tedious work

PS: All the files have the same headers, and the tab2 is the one i want, which they all open to tab 2 when you open the files.
