Record not updating in the form

I have my form set up where it automatically generates a special number, but it does not show when I click on a new record. I can go to my query and it updates there and then go back to my form and it updated. Also, I can click on next record and go back to the previous record and it updates. This is where I have my code

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!seqnum = Nz(DMax("seqnum", "tblMaintWO", _
"[contractnum]='" & Me![Contractnum] & "'"), 0) + 1
End If

End Sub

I also have a formula in my query to extract the data:

Workordernum: Right(tblcontractlist.contractnum,1) & "1" & Format([Seqnum],"000")
