>>>I have built a form that allows the user to input many rows of data and I want the user to click a SAVE button after he inputted his data and they will be saved in a dbf file(for example, abc.dbf)
>>>I know how to do that if the form only allows the player input 1 record by 1 record. Use append blank and then tableupdate(.t.). But I have no idea how to do that on many records at a time. Please help.

>I know how to use buffering mode 5 for a grid but not know how to do it on the above cases. Thanks for help.

Table buffering is table buffering no matter how you are adding/editing records. Whether you use a grid or not, all updates you make are buffered until you issue a tableupdate. I'm curious as to why you set up your form this way instead of using a grid?
