you were correct, I merely was trying to "run" the macro, after clicking the
autoshape it gave me an error on:

Set rng = shp.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 1).Value

the autoshape holding the macro is in RowP, does that effect the
"TofLeftCell"?

application.Caller will only work if you do what you said:

"clicking the autoshape"

and it is used in the macro assigned to the autoshape.

If you are trying to run the macro manually, then there's your huckleberry.
(application.Caller is not defined)

Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
asking me to debug

I would like to have a time stamp inserted one column to the right of
this
macro. The macro is inserted into an autoshape in Column P, so column
Q
would
contain the time stamp. The autoshape and macro are repeated in every
row
of
column P

I am not sure how to, upon clicking the autoshape, make the cell with
the
autoshape the active cell and then tell the macro to insert the time
stamp
one cell to the right.This is the macro I am currently running.

Sub Barcode()
Dim ActRow As Integer
Dim Iloop As Integer

Cells(Iloop, "B") = Cells(ActRow, Iloop + 2)
Next Iloop
For Iloop = 12 To 15
Cells(Iloop - 5, "A") = Cells(2, Iloop + 2)
Cells(Iloop - 5, "B") = Cells(ActRow, Iloop + 2)
Next Iloop
