How do I write a query to get this

doc cnt
S55 4

I have two of the same records in the table but their Titles are different so instead of the count coming out to 5 how do I get the count to come out to 4

Here's the table info:


CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test](
	[FO] [varchar](3) NULL,
	[doc] [varchar](4) NULL,
	[clm] [char] (6) NULL,
	[cos] [char] (6) NULL,
	[FileDate] [char] (30) NULL,
	[DDSRcpt] [char](30) NULL,
	[Title] [varchar](3) NULL

) ON [PRIMARY]

insert into Test
select '311', 'S55', '458963', '458963', '12/14/2010', '05/23/2011', 'T2' union all
select '311', 'S55', '256983', '256983', '11/03/2010', '07/05/2011', 'T16' union all
select '311', 'S55', '129653', '129653', '01/28/2011', '04/20/2011', 'T16' union all
select '311', 'S55', '129653', '129653', '01/28/2011', '04/20/2011', 'T2' union allselect '315', 'S55', '457884', '457884', '10/01/2010', '05/23/2011', 'T16'


The bold is the same but I want it to be counted as one record.

Maybe this?

select COUNT(distinct FO+DOC+CLM+[COS]+FileDate )
from test
