If you want to avoid DLookup/DCount et al, you can roll your own 
equivalent. Something along the lines of:

Function IsQA(User as String) as Boolean
	Dim rs as DAO.Recordset
	rs = CurrentDB.Openrecordset("Select count(*) from tblProjects where 	
QAFName = '" & User & "'")
	IsQA =  rs(0)
End Function

Then just use:

If IsQA(Username) Then
    DoCmd.OpenForm "frmProjects",,,,"QAFName ='" & Username & "'"
Else
    MsgBox "You are not QA on any Project"
End If
