If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1)) Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(11900, "000000")
End If

You had misused Range. Range takes something like:
Range("A5")
Range("G3:G12")
etc. (many others)
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0,-1).Value) only would mean something if
Activecell.Offset(0,1).Value were something like A5 or G3:G12, etc.
Also, you have Active.Cell rather than ActiveCell.
Also, instead of Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(11900, "000000"), use
"011900", but then you'd have to format the cell anyway!

I am searching down a column for a particular value and if found, want to
check the cell to the immediate left for being empty. If it is, I want to
insert a text value derived from a function, and then continue with a find
next. I am getting an error, Run time error "424" Object required, from
the
following true condition statement:

If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1)) Then
Range(Active.Cell.Offset(0, -1)).Value =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(11900, "000000")
End If

I initially tried the following line there, but got the same error:

Active.Cell.Offset(0, -1).FormulaR1C1 =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(11900, "000000")

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Bob for the speedy response. My initial approach (without using the
Range()), after correcting the Active.Cell to ActiveCell error you pointed
out worked fine.

It works fine, it is just slower.
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value = _
format(11900, "000000")

or
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value = _
"011900"

Would work the same as your code but would be faster. (although the
difference may not be noticeable).
