Default excel is calculating wrong again

Calculation issue not fixed.
When calculating a range of numbers I get this:
114,642.55 good

When I add another range of numbers I get this:
165,707.09 good

Now when I try and subtract those two summed fields 165,707.09 from
114,642.55 is get this:
51,064.46999999 wrong
I should get this 51,064.47.

How can this be?
I know I can format the field to show the 51,064.47 but the value is
51.064.46999 which after thousands of additions and subtractions that
fraction of a decimal will add up. I am on service pack 2 for office.
It works fine if you just type in the numbers into two fields but when you
subtract the cells with the functions in them, they do not work.
