How to instruct QTP to display errors and other description in the test results instead of halting execution by throwing error in the mid of execution due to an error (for example Object not found)?

1. Here if you want the error at result window, then you can see the resultant error by using Reporter.ReportEvent.
The syntax is Reporter.ReportEvent EventStatus, ReportStepName, Details.
EventStatus - 0-Sucess, 1-Fail, 2- Just send a msg to test window, 3-warning msg
ReportStepName-Variable that returns the error
Details - You can write your own description for the Error
2. If you want to bypass that error and wants to continue with the remaining script, you can use Recovery Scenario

Use "On Error Resume Next" statement at the beginning of your script/function and use the following statements at the end of script/function.

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
  ErrorNumber =" Error # " & CStr(Err.Number)
  ErrorDescription = Err.Description
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Error description: " & Err.Description, "Failed"
  Err.Clear ' Clear the error.
End If

So that at run time, if any exception come it skip the current statement and execute the immediate next statement and at the end it sends the error description to test result screen
