I think Jonathan is right.  If it is an automated process you only need to
know related records exist.

Counting the records is ok if you need some visual confirmation but would be
slower.

Don't count them just to decide whether to go there. Steve's If step is
sufficient:

> If [ not isempty(RelatedTable::RelatedTableID) ]

All you care about is that there is at least one. This will give you that
answer. Counting related records, especially if it's a large related set, is
a time waster.
