[AccessD] Emailing Form Data

I need to send database data to end-users, have them modify, and return
back to me.
My table contains 2 fields, [ProjectName] and [ProgressPrct].  I have a
form with 2 controls per record, txtProjectName (textbox) and
cmbProgress (combo box).  The data on the combo box needs to be updated
on a weekly basis, with values of 0 - 100%, in increments of 10.
 
What is the easiest way to send this data for user reponse?
I'm thinking that sending a user form as an attachment would work, but
I'm not sure what kind of form to use.  We've considered Outlook forms,
but creating this form from code is very time-consuming, and uploading
the returned data within customized fields sounds daunting.
InfoPath would be ideal, but not all users have this program installed.
 
Because the sending of this form will occur on a weekly basis, I'd like
to automate it as much as possible.
Any direction is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks.
