   You should use the Entries tag and point the alpha_filter="" param to the letter in the URI.

   This is what I have so far: (I don't know what you mean by entries tags, i have that i think?
   
   {exp:low_alphabet:azlist channel="zoo_visitor" transcribe="disable" dynamic="no" paginate="both" status="Members-id5" show_empty="no" limit="20" alpha_field="member_lastname" group_numbers="yes" search:membership_type="Individual Membership ($40)"
   orderby="member_lastname" alpha_ignore="the|a" numbers="no" status="open" show_empty="yes"}
   {if count == 1}

   
   
   • All
   
   {/if}
   
   
   • {low_alphabet_label}
   
   {if count == total_results}
   {/if}
   
   {/exp:low_alphabet:azlist}
   
   {embed="search/member_search"}
   
   {exp:low_alphabet:entries channel="zoo_visitor" dynamic="no" status="Members-id5" alpha_field="last" alpha_filter="{member_lastname}" orderby="member_lastname" limit="24" parse="inward" paginate="top"}

   Couple of things here. First, the azlist-tag:
   
   - The transcribe="", dynamic="", paginate="", limit="", orderby="" and alpha_ignore="" parameters do nothing on the tag. You can remove them.
   - The show_empty="" and status="" parameters appear twice. Pick one for each.
   
   Then the entries-tag:
   
   - You can remove the alpha_field="" parameter. That's only relevant if you define multiple fields in the orderby="" parameter, which you don't.
   - The alpha_filter="" parameter should point to the letter you want to filter by. You're putting that in the URI using the azlist-tag. So try using alpha_filter="{segment_3}".

   Wow, great, thank you so much, that helped a ton!.
   
   I have "limit="2", just to test.
   
   If I click on "C" I should only get 'Carson, Sharon' name, but I get two names, and if I click on "Z" i still get both two names, did i leave something out?

   Looks to me you haven't added alpha_filter="{segment_3}" to your low_alphabet:entries tag.
