SQL statement

Hi,
does anyone know what's wrong with my statement:
"select count(DISTINCT first_name, address_1) as UniqueCount from sweeps_entry"
My error seems to be coming from the comma between first_name and address_1.

this is the error I get:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Servererror '80040e14'
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ','.
/Report.asp, line 56

AFAIK, you can only pass one parameter to DISTINCT.
