If using views_get_view in Views 3, you can use this snippet:

    $view = views_get_view('MY_VIEW');
    $view->set_display('MY_DISPLAY');
    // Execute first
    $result = $view->preview('MY_DISPLAY');
    // Output result only if rows > 0
    if (count($view->result) > 0) {
      print $result;
    }
