Create a pseudo-pivot query for a report

Hello,

I have table with widgets and a table with tasks.  Each widget has one of each of the tasks, none get left out.

The tables look something like so:

tblWidget
Widget_ID INT

tblTask
Task_ID CHAR(5)
Task_Name VARCHAR(50)

tblWorkflow
Widget_ID INT
Task_ID CHAR(5)
Completion_Date DATETIME

Currently I can run a query on tblWorkflow and see my data like so:
Widget ID          Task ID           Completion_Date
1                         1                     1/1/13
1                         2                     1/2/13
2                         1                     3/1/13
2                         2                     3/2/13
...etc...

However, I'd like to create a query that pivots the data so all my task names are listed horizontally across the top and my widgets are listed vertically on the side like so:
Widget ID          Task #1          Task #2          Task #3
1                         1/1/13            1/2/13            1/3/13
2                         3/1/13            3/2/13            3/3/13
...etc...

The results should  dynamically pick up any new tasks as they are added so they don't need to be added manually.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
