EF5: Update Model from Database not working

I have the EDMX file open on my working ASP.NET 4.5 application in Visual Studio Professional 2015.

I select  Update Model from Database

but see that the Add tab has no tables to choose even though most of the tables in the database were not ever added to this EDMX file.  

Also, on the Refresh tab, there are no table which show up in the list of tables I COULD refresh.

What could be wrong? When I run the application, the app successfully connects to the database. So, I know the db connection string is working okay.

Any suggestion what I can try?

Thanks.

The EF dialogs were updating the config files, even though I escaped out of them...
thanks
