I have a form that creates a code128 barcode based on what the user enters in another field. If I leave the other field without a default value, I get this error when the document opens: "Invalid Barcode Value: Empty value is not a valid value for barcodes of type 128A." Is there any way to get rid of this message?

There is a solution and it basically requires you give the barcode a value. If you do not want to show that "empty state" value, then change the barcode's presence to invisible or hidden.

I have tried making the barcode invisible and hidden and still get the error. I think my problem is that I have the barcode generate based on the value entered in another field. When that field is empty I get the error. When I populate it, the error goes away. I would like other field to be empty when the user opens the form, but the error is very annoying and my users don't understand it.
Any other ideas?

There is no way to bypass the validation of the barcode, so you will always get a message box, if there is no value for the barcode.
You can enter a default value such as "sample code", "invalid code" or "********" for the barcode field.
