out-of-sample testing of a regression

I'd like to test my regression model out-of-sample, so I've run an OLS regression for period 2000-2005. I'd like to test the coefficients from this equation in the dataset between 2005-2010. How could the coefficients be fixed in the new regression using data from 2005-2010, so that I'm able to know how well the estimated coefficients fit the data out-of-sample. Thanks in advance

Look at the discussion of forecasting in the manual.

Is it possible to get t-statistics and R2 values for the forecasted model?

I'm not sure I follow.

I Was wondering if it's possible to calculate R^2 for the model and t-values for coefficients, even though they are fixed. have to survive with the statistics given, thanks!

That doesn't make sense, econometrically.
