I would like to disable system hard error message dialog boxes for a single
application. I do not want to disable them system-wide. Is there any way of
doing this?

Go to Control Panel and double click the System icon.
In System Properties, click on the Advanced page.
On the Advanced page, click on the Error Reporting button.
In Error Reporting, make sure Enable reporting is selected and hit the Choose
Programs button.
In Choose Programs, click on the Add button below "Do not report errors for
these programs".
Enter the path to the program you wish to exclude or hit the Browse button and
navigate to its location.
Click on the program to highlight it and hit the Open button.
Click OK four times.

In my earlier response I should have added that the steps I outlined will not
prevent Microsoft Office programs or Internet Explorer from notifying you of an
error. If that's what you're trying to configure you might want to post your
question to a newsgroup that deals with the specific program.

I already tried the solution you proposed and read the relevant knowledge
base article. This does not suppress a dialog box from Windows entirely;
seems that the only difference is that the box doesn't offer me the option to
send a message to Microsoft.

It is NOT a MS office program; it's one I wrote myself, in whch I have
recently invested significant time writing code to handle occasional errors
caused by a situation out of my control -- poor internet connectivity at the
office.

So, is there any way of suppressing a dialog completely for this one
application?

TIA

If you haven't done so already you might want to post your question to a
developers newsgroup and/or the XP General newsgroup. It's possible that someone
who frequents those newsgroups might have an answer to your question.
