Love those pictures Bob!
 
Thanks Bob, I made the changes to the names and data type fields and also checked "enforce referential integrity" as you had in your sample db. what feature do i need to use to export the data to a flat like view that i need it in on occasion for viewing? also, If i made flat sheets of part # and their spec, can they be easily imported to this format i am now trying to work with and with what method? thanks
 
also, since every part has a "manufacturer" column, should i move that out of the attributes table and into table1?
 
If EVERY part will have a manufacturer, you can include it in Table 1.

As for exporting data, you would just create a query that pulls all of the fields together, but you would set it to use a left outer join from the parts table (table one) in order to get all info from table 1 and all data that matches in Table 2 and table 3.
