Default goal seek wont calculate an accurate value past 3 decimal places

I have a traditional situation in which to use goal seek. I need the value in
one cell to equal a certain value by changing another cell. But the value I
want it to go to is very small like 0.04459. So when I click calculate goal
seek gets the first 3 decimal places correct, but the remaining ones are off.
So does goal seek not calculate past 3 decimal places or am I doing something
wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Joe
